Wow that friend of your's is mighty brave! The idea of having meals with my ex and our children makes me nauseous. It even seems in appropriate.
I find starting my life over, so bitter sweet, you know? In many ways I like having a life of my very own. There are so many advantages to that!
Yet at the same time, I still yearn for a family again. I yearn for a partner, a safe place to fall, a best friend, and someone to share my life with. I really could see that happening with boyfriend, up until the true colors started showing. Of course isn't that the way it always goes!
Im a very compassionate, accepting, loving, kind person. I want people to be themselves, and I know when we love people we accept them warts and all. And I guess what's emotionally kicking my a$$ right now, is that I accepted this of him! I know what his warts are. I love the beautiful side of him but am disgusted with his bad side that is not acceptable.
