Do you think I am too hard on myself? Maybe so. I need to stop trying to be perfect, fix everything and make it great. Sometimes we have to be hurt. Marriage, relationships and families can't always be perfect (or even close to it), and one has to accept what is and try to appreciate the good things in that.
I think one thing that's a big problem with piecing is not only do we have our marriages to work on, but kids, extended family, etc...
And separation and divorce only add to that orignal discomfort one may have felt with certain extended family members. Both of my husband's sisters supported the divorce and even offered to set him up on dates! I know I shouldn't hold it against them, but things like that make ime feel sort of uncomfortable around them. And yet, I know I need to get over that and accpet whatever the realtionship is and make the best of it. It's always so easy to give advice, but so much harder to live by it!
I should probably be enjoying my short little break from my family. Sometimes it really is nice to be alone. However, I also feel left out of a fun family event.... Oh well... almost time to GAL. I'm going to head to Barnes and Nobles and then meet some girlfriends for a chocolate martini... you know enjoy the little things!
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
