a young man with hope II

Thanks all for the replies and the kind words.

I am still hurting but I am up. Toots, the advice for the mini goals was very helpful. I set a goal to get out of the house and do something fun with S and did so. We went to the toy store today. He loves animals, so I bought him a small set of the little plastic ones. They are currently all over my living room floor, but he was happy.

Mahhhty, the last line really resonated with me. I realize that I was being manipulative around her. Trying to strong arm her into a fight or make her feel bad for me. None of that is working. We are divorced - but I am not done here. Maybe it is crazy to still hold on, but I will go to my grave fighting if I have to. I just need to stay positive and, like you said, make the most out of interactions.

Vanilla, thank you for the kind words - as always. I need to be strong for my S.
