Toots, this is one of those rare occasions where i don't agree with you. If she was just uncomfortable around me then i might agree but her view of me is somewhere slightly worse than V's H. she feels like (and has said to other people) she is escaping years of abuse - her sister was actively encouraging her to get the police involved - and so from that perspective I can see why she is uncomfortable but i don't see it as a reason for hope.
V, ^^^ this is one of the reasons i find it very difficult to post on your thread these days. I always read it but simply don't know what to say.
RD, I'm actually visiting Dublin in December. I am planning a holiday for next year when the XW takes the kids to florida I just need to decide where (and work out how to pay for it )
although the where is part of the issue because i've always been more bothered about who i go with rather than where i go. awful places are great in the right company. I'm determined to do something good though.
Toots, I did go to a couple of local round table things but unfortunately the timing just doesn't work with my childcare schedule. I've been going to local meetups when i can but as for something regular then im pretty limited. Its not bad though and I got a bunch of stuff done today - my car will even fit in the garage now.
as for dating, well i may not have RD's allure but I'm sure i'll meet someone at somepoint. until then i can enjoy taking up the whole sofa.
one last thing to correct the balance and agree with Toots. I dont ask for scripting help much anymore either, because i just respond in a friendly way. Its definitely good progress.
