Merry Christmas man! Today was kinda hard at times for me too. First one with a re-defined family. But ya know what? It's just about over, yours too, and we did it! 11 months ago I didn't know how I was gonna do any damn thing! Now, I'm home alone and taking down the Christmas tree! Put the kids toys and stuff away earlier. God bless you man...and God bless all of us.

GIMA. I posted my Christmas wishes for you on my thread but now sending you further wishes that you can get this situation resolved and out of this painful limbo existence really quickly. You, like me, have given it all and we can now move forward at peace with ourselves knowing we did all we could to keep our families in tact.
Yesterday, for the first time I experienced a peace that I never knew I could have. There is a way forward!!
GIMA, that happened to me just last week. Acknowledge it and use the self talk to help you through.
Yes. Doing that now.
Got to talk with my S tonight as W was putting D to bed. Nothing earth shattering that S and I discussed. Just that he had a good Christmas. Told him I loved him and made a joke about cooking the turkey today.
Merry Christmas GIMA! Those cute little kids sure make it worthwhile, don't they? Bunny
They ALWAYS do. My D got a bunch of outfits today (mostly play stuff) so she must have changed outfits 4-5 times. Of course, each time is a fashion show, right down to the plastic earrings.
