One blessing that has come from being separated from H is spending more time with my elderly mom. Taking a break and spending the night with her tonight.

beckyb - thank you for stopping by my thread. I am going to give reframing my mind around my already being divorced like you suggested.

I am happy that you are getting to spend time with your Mom, it is a shame you weren't able to do that before. I hope you had a good holiday.

How was your mum beckyb.

Sometimes parents can drive us nuts but occasionally they have words (only one or two smile ) of wisdom, did she impart any of them this time round?

- If you haven't set goals, how can you expect to achieve anything?

Mom was good. She is an extreme worrier and can drive me crazy but she can also be very wise. When I'm there I can lay on the sofa and read magazines and not do anything.

She is not in the best health and doesn't get out much. She loves it when we stay over.

She ask if I was going to put up a Christmas tree. I said I didn't think so. Maybe just a few simple decorations. (I usually go all out). She reminded me a loved Christmas before I met H and not to let him steal my joy. She said she just knew I had a lot of joy coming my way.

It was very nice of her but I am skeptical.

I really miss my H when I'm traveling for business. Nobody to text or call when I get in at night.

Becky I am sure your visit was very special to your mother. And I think she is right, you should go all out for Christmas. If it feels to lonely decorating your house, maybe you should go decorate for your mom. Or go to a nursing home or women's shelter or somewhere where they will appreciate the decorations and you can share the fun?

Just a thought.

I was just typing what Pho said and then hit the back button accidentally. I say go all out. I know what you are thinking becky, I thought it too but I won't let him take away my favorite time of year. He took Easter from me (this year) with his BD. Christmas will be spent making my S appreciate the tree and the decorations and watching Polar Express 100 times.

Pho, my company shuts down from the 24th through New Years. I actually think I'm going to pack up the cat go to my mom's until the 27th when my sister's and I are going to Nashville for 5 nights. We are excited.

I'm so annoyed and upset. The electric bill is H's name. I told him several weeks ago he had to call and change it. Now that he's done an address change it went to his new apartment so he texted me about it. I told him I would call again and that the bill was automatically paid.

Then is accidentally texted me instead of OW to say "Becky said she would change the address and the bill was automatically changed" Ooops

Makes me wonder if she is pushing him to deal with these things.

Becky, sorry to say it, but more than likely. In the OW's eyes they've won. Never mind the fact that their prize is a person showing extremely poor character and judgement. There is something wrong with these women...we're not talking about good people.

Try not to worry about it. You're a woman of strength and character, easily worth more than a thousand of her. Both of them are broken.
