(((Jo))) I don't post to you often, but I just wanted to say that I hope your birthday is better than you'd hoped.You are such a sweet, intelligent, caring person to everyone in your life including us here.
We're all sorry to see you feel so sad when you've worked so hard. No matter what happens between you and Andy, the girls will always belong to you. Don't ever give up on being their mom. The day will come when "they" will choose you. Trust me, Jo, they will know the truth some day.
Jo, Jo, I, for one don't want your break from the BB to be very long. I respect your feelings, however I know everytime you post something on my thread I feel better and I thank you for that. Jo you will have good days and bad days, don't get down on yourself. We are inspired by you even on your worst days.
A break from DBing is something all of us need from time to time. Please don't ever think that your sole purpose for being on this BB is to serve all of our needs.
I think most of us would like to support you thru hard times as well. Hang in there, Jo! And reach out for support when you want it, as that's why we're here as well.
You asked for shout-outs....here's one to take a peak at my sitch before you head off for a bit. I'm wondering about your take on the motherhood/worker balance vibes.
Jo I remember your plan to rebuild your life with Andy. Seems like like you were planing it to take severals years for you two to live in the same house. I thought at the time "Jo is very patient to have and work that long range plan."
I also reaize intelectual plans are one thing, especially when feelings of failure overwhelm you because of lack of progress in a relationship.
{{{{{Jo}}}}} hope you are taking care of yourself.
I am okay but having to re-evaluate whether I still want my H. I now wouldn't have him back unless he married me first, and even then he would have to prove he was man enough for me, somehow I doubt it.
There was some stuff kick off AFTER my last installment which makes me think I am better off without him. When I have calmed down a little I will write about it.
Also, I know H is lurking on this forum so at the moment I don't want to give him too many opportunities for indirect contact with me.
Also, because my stuff is negative atm I didn't want to write posts which would upset other people on this site. You are all going through your own stuff without me adding to it.
Don't worry about being overly negative - we've all probably heard it all before and are not a bunch of fragile eggs!
You definitely ought not to back away from support when you might need it most. The door remains open, okay?
If H is lurking on this BB, that is not an overly negative sign. Shows interest in you and what you're doing. A bit more of his control stuff, but you already know about that. We each face our own adult decisions, and are responsible for our own actions, so don't worry about sending us over the edge like a crowd of lemmings! Most of us probably do the exact opposite of the crowd or what we're told - hence us being here!
