Hi G,

Sending warm thoughts and hugs, and wishing I was there to give them to you personally.

I'm sorry to hear about your Dad, I know how hard it is to loose a parent, and a cherished pet.... boy do I know.

I completely understand where you are coming from, especially about being tired of loosing those things we/I thought brought us the special joys in our lives. I feel numb at times when I focus on all that I've lost, yet continue to struggle to find my own happiness.

You know, just a side thought, your xh's relationship can't be a very mature or good one since he is cautious of who he speaks to when she is around. Not that it matters, it will be what it is, but I for one, would prefer a man who was still on friendly terms with his xw, than one who faked it because I was around. Seems dishonest to me to hide things from her, like phone calls and emails..... Like I said, just a thought.

Me, like I said, I'd rather a man who learned to make peace with his former wife/girlfriend after a break up or divorce. This would show me his emotional maturity.... I say this after 5 years of nothing but anger and destruction coming from the xh and his inability to take responsibilities for his own actions.

Take care of you and know you in my thoughts and prayers.
