Are they posters who've given up on DBing? I haven't thrown in the towel yet, but it's half - time and I hope there's a sub lined up to take my place for the next part of the match...

This is PinHead's "thread" and I've contributed to hi-jacking it. Sorry. PinHead, hope things are working out. NCU

Unbind yourself from your H. You were a successfel and happy woman before you met your H...right? He does not define who NCU is...only NCU can do that! Always remember you are GAL'ing and DB'ing for yourself and not your H or for your M. It is to help make NCU strong, happy and healthy. So get that license and explore the world!!
We've got children. They need us both and it's hard for me to let go of the dream. And I was very committed and serious about M for life. So not so easy. I was much younger when I met my H and we grew into real adults together. And I loved him - still do - so much.

The open thread. that's a new one on me. I'd better leave it as I've a fit of the blues and the only cure for me is being seriously, irreverently flippant.

I have children from my 1st M. Although, my exW could not reconcile our M we were determined to have a healthy R for our two boys. I am proud to say that I and my 1st ex have two healthy and happy teenage boys that are working towards their eagle scout (Boy scouts) and I am more than confident that they will mature into healthy happy successful adults.
NCU, it can be done. And believe me we were all much younger when we M and had a lot fewer worry lines on our faces. Please don't latch on to the "dream" in thinking that sacrificing your happiness is for sake of the children. Your children will prosper more successfully knowing their mother is happy with her life. You being happy will allow you to share that happiness with your children.
Just saw your reply on p.8, HIH. I think youv've hit the nail on the head.Thanks. Don't know how I didn't see it, though. i thought I was very attentive to him, but I saw things differently to him and hurt/smothered/ suffocated where I meant to do good. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. NCU
