Don't Look Back 1

[SunnyB]

Hi Bob, thanks for stopping by with words of encouragement. That's why I posted here.

Hi Sunny. I understand why it's annoying but it's an expectation that H would do something nice and on recent form that doesn't seem likely Maybe he forgot

Yeah, RD, I tried to pass it off as he forgot this morning, but after he'd been to church and most likely wished every woman in the room happy Mother's Day at the passing of the peace, well....no, he didn't forget.

Hi Sunny, try not to worry about your H. He knows you are a great Mum, and so do your kids.

You know, Toots, someone said the other day that her H had never told her she was a good mom, it might have been Claire. I don't remember my H ever telling me that either, in all these years. I put so much time and effort into being a great mom and he never acknowledged that.

Happy Mother's day Sunny! You inspired me to acknowledge my STBX today. I hadn't been planning on it because of how negatively WAS's take these gestures a lot of the time, but now I realize it's simply the right thing to do for the person I want to be.

Zues, I'm sincerely proud of you. It WAS the right thing to do. Good job.

As far as expectations go, yes, I'll admit I do have expectations of him. I expect him to be as polite to me as he would be to the cashier at the grocery or the waitress at the restaurant. I have no doubt he told them Happy Mother's Day. That's really all I wanted.

You all have made me feel better and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I went for a long walk today and had a good cry, the first one in a really long time. I came up with a few revelations which I'll post tomorrow.

Best to you all.
