I just saw the movie "It's Complicated." It is so how I feel. Some days I tear up and other times I surprise myself laughing. I have never even tried pot though!
It was hard for the boys in parts but really I think it was the right time for me to see it.

Thanks, K. So many of divorce related movies are so hard to watch, this one was kind of fun. It did touch on the pain of divorce but it also did show that there is life after if it so happens.
I do hope to have a much better year. I don't know what new things await me but I just have to believe that things will get better and better. Sometimes I am still surprised that I can feel a bit normal. I suppose eventually I will get there fully.
I think this is going to be a better year for us all.

I really want to see that movie. I think parts of it might be really tough for me but worth it.
Went to see Couples Retreat last night with a friend. $1 movie theater so it was a cheap date! We laughed ourselves sick. Well, until the last few scenes....then I teared up a little just watching these happy couples. Got past it quickly though and back to laughing. LOL!

The divorce took place 10 years ago in the movie. In one part of the movies the kids say something regarding the divorce and S17 mumbles, "Damn it! You left! What did you expect?" So I think it helped me see their side a bit more too. Still though I felt like someone got it, they got me and understood how I felt.
As you all know that is so rare in the real world. Sometimes divorce seems like it is a disease that women are afraid to catch.

My meaning behind that comment was that friends seem to disappear when you go through a divorce because they don't want to find themselves in the same boat. Nothing to do with WAS.
My one "friend" who broke the news to me that my ex had filed for divorce, usually just calls now to get the dirt. She wants to know every detail but I don't give her much of anything. Funny thing was that her H had an affair and they separated and she kept comparing our situations, though she and her H were working things out when my H strayed. For example, my ex rented a house(from said friend and her H) and she said well there is no way he will come home now, because her H never did this. Whatever!!!
