Good morning Tipper,
Sounds like you had a good alanon meeting, and are staying busy and keeping the focus on you. Way to go!

As far as being a " marblette " I'm sorry you are losing that connection that with these people, but new people come in and out of our lifes all the time, and I believe there is a reason for that. You'll make new friends, healthy friends that will teach you a new prespective on life.

As far as the feelings of motherhood, believe me when I say I know exactly how you feel. My hubby and I were not able to have kids due to an ifertility problem on my part, and back then there was NO way we could afford " In-Vetro. I'm at a stage in my life, where my friends kids are now all having kids. So you also have to deal with not being a grandma. I get a little sad about that but just tell myself that it wasnt meant to be, but your a lot younger than me so who knows.

I love the girl power and the amazing connections that we have with other women. I have a few very close girl friends we've all been thru the muck and back one way or the other and oare there for each other when needed.

Stay strong and focused and have fun this weekend.


Good luck on your talk with your husband......remember all that you have learned thru alanon and here to keep your feet on the ground.

see ya, Cindy
