Another rough day, huh? I'm sorry, hon. Glad you've got family coming to look forward to though! That'll be great for you! Just try to remember when/if the 2x4's are swinging, it's only because they love you and are trying to help. They don't want to see you in this situation any more than you, yourself, want to be.
If this L's a good guy, he'll be up for the challenge! Good luck! And yes, fill up on water today!
(((((((More hugs)))))))

Just keep posting, journaling, writing about the feelings, either here or in a notebook. Get the tears out. Write where they are coming from. It's totally okay to feel however you want. It's allowed. It's even healthy and nobody here is even going to get mad at you !!!

M 19 years, MC for 8 months, DB'd for 8 months 4 kids; 18, 15, 14, & 10 I was never meant to be a doormat. It took me years of therapy to become assertive enough to stop his abuse.
Friday was not a good day. It started bad, and didn't get better until late afternoon. Meeting w/ L went well. Got some work done, but need to haul butt today (yes, Sunday) to stay on top of it and keep boss happy. Then my sister arrived. After sleeping a bit, the GAL began. My sister is a professional GAL'er. And her Hus knows how to GAL, too. Our love buckets are overflowing. I got my tattoo. And it looks freakin' beautiful. Will post pix in the alt universe later this week. For now, I have much work to do. What did Goldey learn in the last 3 days? Avoid married men. That's why God gave us Uncle Bob. Limit alcohol, get plenty of water and rest. Trust that God is on the job. Stop, be still, and listen. Then do what He's telling you to do. Find some better friends. Thanks DB. Find other superheroes. Wash tattoo 3x/day and prepare for others' envy of a job well done! Peace, my sweets. I'll be around, but busy this week. love, Goldey p.s. Gypsy, **hugs** are you ok?

Thx Neil, there isn't much to say anymore. Obviously, this is one divorce that should not be busted. I still believe in one man, one woman, and the sacrament of Marriage in the eyes of the Church. I'll be glad when it's over, and I can pursue an annullment. I've never participated in one, but I think it will be a slam dunk, as far as the Tribunal is concerned. I'm off to Mass. Perhaps I'll even pray for STBX, but maybe not. Today, I'm praying for God's grace, to help me find the strength to face the challenges ahead. Thanks, all you DB'ers. You were there for me when my 'friends' developed amnesia and then evaporated. I'm taking applications for new friends. Peace.
Sweet Kalni Sunshine, you are obviously grandfathered in. My sister went home this afternoon, and I cried. Now I'm better. It's been an emotional week, and another one looms ahead. The trick is to remain on-task, and to avoid panic. Easier said than done. Peace.
