I was reading along...you have so much to think about and absorb from these posts..so much caring and insightful advice. I am always thinking about you Rough, and I know you are feeling an explosion of emotions. That is why this struck me from Denver (and thank you Denver for posting it because its really spot on in terms of how it feels...sometimes we need others to clarify...you give wonderful advice...i know we don't communicate but i want to thank you because what you write helps a lot of us)
Rough you ARE going to be ok. We all believe it.
Hi Bustingout,
What a thoughtful post. It means a lot and I sincerely appreciate it. I totally agree, there’s a lot of caring and insightful advise! The posts have given me a ton to think about. This board takes on a life of its own. I know this sounds a little crazy but I am telling you, this stuff would make for an amazing reality show. Seriously, people enjoy those shows because of the “emotion” they create. Yes, it would need to be based off us vs. the internet, if that makes any sense. It would be really cool and suspenseful. Following the couples for an entire season and then the finale would show which couples reconciled. With the divorce rates these days, I think it would speak to a lot of people. Just a wild thought I had. I don’t want anyone to confuse this with “a game” because this stuff is no joke!
Yeah, I know I will be ok. Our son is having a hard time with all of this. We try to be careful with the things he’s exposed to but he’s 8 and does a good job putting together the pieces. His teacher emailed W and I yesterday because of his behavior at school. I am heading to his school in a bit and taking him out to lunch. He might be excited to see me but I won’t be taking him out to an exciting lunch because I need to work with him on his behavior. He will be getting a bare bones lunch, something boring but nutritious.
