Well, I'll jump in the poor boat with you guys. lol Everybody start paddling and maybe we can make some progress... You know the great state of Texas pays us teachers one time a month. Not even gonna say what I had to my name the couple of days before payday!!! But uh.... it was mostly just my name...
Keep your head up t, you can handle all of this. We have faith in you!!

Rough days can be good for you Meat, sometimes they are even necessary. It reminds us that we have a long way to go before we are healed.
Thinking about things and wondering how to behave and such is futile. Just be yourself punk...... Seems to me your forgetting that you are holding all the cards now.
You have worked very hard to become an independant strong man and not need her anymore. You have become self sufficient (exept for this bizarre codependancy thing you and Mach have going on), and you have put yourself in a position to come out a winner no matter what.
If God decides that your X wife is going to be part of your life again, you will know. Just relax, keep being yourself and stop the stress.
The finances issue, dude... join the fricken club. Give blood, $35 a pop 3 times a week. :-)
Blood huh? Three times a week? I'll look like a freakin junkie dude! That's not bad money though actually....I guess it would be more comfortable than donating other fluids. (sorry couldn't help that one) I may have to look into that. Blood only.
I have a couple of other things that I'm doing, it's just going to take a little more time.
I know I'll be ok when it comes to seeing her. I can't be anything else but me. I just have to trust myself and God and just go with it.
She did ask if her dad could come over and pick up one thing for her tomorrow. I'm sure she will be in touch about that. She didn't mention any other items so I'm hesitant to have everything packed up for her. Twice in the past I have took a bunch of her stuff to her without her asking for it and it turned out negatively. Still going back and forth a little on this one.
Your right, there really isn't too much to do but use what I have learned, be myself and pray.
T, remember how far you have come. You dont want to go back to where you started, right? So, when you see her, be the Trapt we have all come to know and love.
As for her stuff, I wouldnt worry about it. If she gets in touch, I would just give her the stuff she asks for unless the other stuff is in your way.
What B said. And this donation conversation is like dejavu.. I know we've had it before. lol I need some money but I need to keep all of my fluids. Need another option.
