Maybe if I joined a Rock Band, oh wait, that's already been done - by you. It must be fun, but does that come anywhere near to filling the "void" your W left in your life?
It fills A LOT...male friends fell to the side during the M, and it balances out my left brain dominant tendencies.
These guys are all intelligent, creative, accomplished in their "real" careers, fun, positive.
And you know, not having to constantly "fix", care-take, clean up after stbxw, the mood swings, the drama, is a relief, which I felt guilty about at first, but don't anymore. I used to joke to myself that God gave me only sons because I already had a teenaged daughter (and this is long before MLC).
In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. - Albert Camus
