When you typed "Elvis was everywhere" I heard that Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper song "Elvis is Everywhere" -- do you know it? gave me a chuckle, as I too love Elvis.

I can only imagine how beautiful your daughter looked in her gown. You are both lucky to have each other, and to share these priceless memories.

I know your anger well and mirror it, especially on Easter, as it was our last family holiday. All the while we were celebrating as a family with our respective parents he was planning to drop the bomb the next day. Today, on this holy day, I feel so much anger. And you know, it's not about calling the ex to give them guilt. I could care less about his guilt. Some days I'm just so angry at what he did to our family, to our son. With few exceptions I have practiced such self-restraint and sometimes my Italian temper just feels like it's ready to explode. I wish I had a punching bag as throwing several punches at a bag would definitely get this anger out of my body.

Irish, I hope you did something physical to get the excess energy out of your body. I hope you went for a vigorous walk or hike, or went to the gym. Venting here helps but the physical act of doing something that causes you to move or sweat is the most helpful. Yard work, anything physical that gets you moving.

Happy Easter to you my friend. Better days are ahead for all of us. xo

Continue venting here.

"Someone I loved once gave me
A box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand,
That this too, was a gift."
