Hi Bttrfly ((((hugs)))), yes Eeyore , from the Winnie the pooh cartoons. Very depressed character. Fits the way my XW is talking.

I'm hoping for an after the mothers day contact, to give me a break... but you are right. Got a message today. see below.

Hi Job, thanks for the support :-)
As for me linking my post. It wasn't easy at first but after 10 posts its a walk in the park. Anything I can do to free up your workload I will.

Hi SBJ. I think we are all in this together. I may not post much on other sitches but I do learn from reading them. My strength is only as strong as my teammate. And here we are an amazing team.

Yes that famous miracle. Or secret to breaking the MLC code. DB may be the closest thing yet to a solution. Loving yourself and holding to your boundaries is key. Both have to be played out together or it won't move along as it should. A little Guinness here and there helps too.

St Patricks day this weekend. It's my time to shine. I will be in the parade in my community with my girls. Sadly we have just received over 3 feet of snow. My plans to have the roof and doors off the jeep to properly wave the Irish flags may change. We will see. Our main parade in the city is this Sunday. I will be in a smaller parade a few days later.


Messages about her writing the girls. She really hopes the girls verbalize their thoughts and feelings to her. So they can go forward. Also wants some of our old photos and videos. She'd like to see the old memories.

I replied.

Make sure you just choose the right words. I can't tell you what to write. What I can say is they will want to see action. If they reply and verbalize their feelings to you great. I don't want to say you need to be the adult here. But you do.

Again. Actions are worth so much.

It will be my pleasure to drop off a memory stick of the files.


She answers with a question I will avoid.

Action will come once we start talking. If they don't give me the chance then its pointless.

What are these actions I need to do?



I'll leave it at that. No comment or answer to that question. I won't get into the leave him, move to an apartment or any of that. She can work that out with them.
