Cld,
Please be careful when referencing other people who have sites that discuss subjects of the nature that we discuss here. We have already edited your postings several times because you continue to reference the person from another site.

I do agree w/most of what you've posted, but I also want you to be aware that it is not just in the US that we are seeing this behavior. It is popping up all over the world. Each generation has it's own set of problems, take a look around you...the world is in crisis right now w/terrorism, drugs, violence, and killings. It's not just in one country...it's all over.

I do feel your frustration and I don't see anything changing any time soon.

Sorry for naming that guy, Job. I didn't do it on purpose.
And no, this is not a worldwide phenomenon.
In Thailand for instance divorce is banned and families are much more stable than in the US. In Indonesia it takes 10 years to get divorced and nobody does that as a result.
Our lawmakers are hurting our children on purpose because they put profit before values.

If you wish to discuss this further, I'll be happy to respond over on your thread. I think we've hi-jacked Irish's thread quite a bit w/discussions on divorce, crime and problems each generation is dealing with in today's society.

Irish,

Again, I am sorry for the hi-jack.

Hi friend.
What did you do to yourself, lol?
Hope your toe is feeling better. I'm so happy you are detached and handling contact with x with equanimity.

for the record, I would have been all over that Nikon ... forget about the pants, lol.

I've said it before and I stand by it: you are a great dad, and the gift you are giving your girls is immeasurable. They will have a hard time finding guys who measure up to the standard you continue to set.

Great job!

xo,
-Bttrfly

Hi CLD and Job
No problem in the hi-jack :-)

Hi Bttrfly and Gwen xxx

For my foot it is fractured and I opted for the airboat instead of a cast. This allows me to walk on it without crutches. I can remove for showers and itch relief lol
200$ but well spent. I will verify my insurance is I get reimbursed.

My finger was dislocated and I reset 3 weeks ago. They reset it properly Nd taped or up.

As for XW she is today messaging me like we are old friends.
So a few days ago it was her as victim, I should feel bad for her mother to this . It's like the divorce is over and now we are friends. I will think of what I will reply today and send her a short reply tomorrow morning.

Her friend , wow

Xx
Irish

Awesome, Irish!
She is coming back!
Now that she is not in a marriage anymore her childhood program doesn't apply anymore it looks like.
Now she is probably seing you as a possible date.
I think my wife is acting the same way. Being married really put pressure on her and she had to be out of the marriage also to "make her mom proud".
If I were you I would tell her right away that "I am not going to be your friend" and that "I won't be part of a love triangle". If she wants to come over for dinner" go ahead and bring a bottle of wine". Don't let her eat cake, Irish.
