My goodness. Words fail me. You are too kind to me.

So my daughter was talking to me about OM today. Sounds like when the social workers told XW that it wasn't good to have unknown men spending the night when the kids were at her house, she took that to mean it made sense to introduce OM to the children (keep in mind this is OM 3, 4, 5, or 12).

The other man thing doesn't bother me anymore, but I do understand the envy people refer to in regards to not allowing yourself a rebound. It sure would feel good for so many reasons. I know better. But I'd like to feel better about it. I will confess that this stuck on my mind today.

I sooooo want you all to read the one year rule. Since I can't post a link please search google for "dailystrength dr joy 1 year rule" and it is the first hit, #2349601.

While there are many people that violently protest against this rule saying 'every sitch is different', etc...I truly believe what she writes makes perfect sense, and that people have horrible judgment when they are needy. Just stick to a year and do the hard work.

Reading this put my heart at ease and I'm much more content about typing this in solitude because of it. Hope it does the same for a few of you!
