I became tearful reading on your friend Jeff's thread in 'Divorced but not done'. His sadness is contagious. His realization that if these situations run on too long they are not usually resolved happily seemed horribly true. Somebody posted and reminded him {and me} that we are in control of our own happiness and peace. Usually, I know that and so do you. Shall we regroup?
Sorry I got folks down. The holidays were hard to handle but the holidays are past and the future awaits.
I will always have sorrow for the break up of my family, but I have so much going for me that the sorrow will be good - to remind me not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Yes, when these things go on for a long time the odds of a happy ending go down. I try not to tell folks to give up; only to make assessments along the way to see if things are changing for the better or not. Life is too short to chase a dream, unless that dream can become reality some day. But unlike starting a business or something, we only have part control of that dream. A R take two; we can only do our part. Each one of us must make our own decision if and when to cut.
And happiness is the key. Are you happy? If not, how can you change that?

You are very right Flicka that we are tired. Each time I get this tired I have to dig deeper just to stay even. How does that ever get me ahead? How do we get to the future and thrive when we are so busy surviving? Keep trodding....
Snow getting you down girl? Things run in cycles; frustration will pass. Will H ever change? I hope so. Many positives, but then he runs away again. I could never figure him out. Maybe the holidays had an affect on him too. Did he start training again?

Better yet, I'll make him take all 5 of us women out for dinner! or even better than that he'll have to cook for us at HIS house! Shakin' in your boots Jeff?
Only five women? There is more than enough of me to go around.
And make sure some are single - I always get lucky when I serve my homemade lasagna
