    I had a busy weekend with friends and then a lazy Sunday with my dogs. The kids were at their dads this weekend so it was nice to decompress. A lot has been going on in my emotional and mental world lately. I decided to text the ex-BF on Sunday night to offer my friendship. I did not expect...

    Chilli And Chilli - Having A Bad Day

    Dawn, I hope this doesn't come out as offensive or patronizing as it is not my intent. I think that statement right there is what pains me so much when it comes to my ex-BF. He and so many others volunteered for the military and proudly served. Then came home and are suffering so much with...

    I think you just gave my oldest daughter an idea what to name her first born :p...although she is only 13 and has a LONG time before that happens. She has always had an obession with wolves. She is an avid reader and enjoys writing short stories. Every story she writes is about wolves, every...

    I am exactly like that Tex....write something down, second guess myself and erase it. Or I think of something, then I cancel it out because of this other thing I do.... I ended up coming up with 2 pros and 2 cons about myself. I am learning way too much about myself.....I think living in...

    Wow! I was kinda nervous and had no idea what to expect from therapy. My therapist is awesome. She asked me a few things and then let me ramble on. Then she would ask a few more questions and let me ramble again. Then she would tell me about the things I was saying and how and why they...

    My first therapy appointment is in a few hours. I am nervous and excited. I started a journal a few days ago and thought I might write down all of the things that are weighing on my soul. I am on my 5th page and haven't even gotten to my ex-BF yet. I think that this will be good. And I can...

    TEX - Thank you for your support. You have no idea what your kind words mean to me and how good they make me feel. I wish I could give you a hug in person!! I pray for the best for you, Seren and your children. I have my first therapy appointment on Thursday and I'm looking forward to some...

    Sorry Jan... I wrote that about the "right and wrong" thing after reading several of the posts by the vets on here. They said even at their worst moments they knew right from wrong ~ even though it didn't always stop them from doing wrong. I guess I just don't understand this at all.... I...

    Well TEX, I did some thinking this weekend about all of this that has happened over the past month and a half. He pushes me away and then says something to keep me hanging on a little longer. I hang on because I love him and then he pushes away again. It is emotionally abusive and draining to...

    Well...he is back to ignoring again. He hasn't responded to texts yesterday or today. I haven't talked to him since Tuesday night and that "distant" conversation. No clue if I will see him to chat like we had planned this weekend. Plus his email is down, so I cannot even communicate with him...

    Misery Thread... Bloody Bloody Hell!

    Alan, No one would ever be offended at venting....it acutally gives me insight as a carer because information is not ever handed to us on a silver platter. We usually have to figure it out or try to drag it out of them... If you were in a wheelchair, the disability would be obvious, and it...

    I think you are right Sue....DOUBT! I guess I just have to keep moving forward and showing him with actions that I am not going anywhere....hopefully he will trust that to be true sooner rather than later.

    Well, two steps back.... We talked on the phone on Tuesday night and he seemed different. A little distant or stressed. Not sure what. I know that he had worked all day and then had class from 530p-830p that night. His prof gave him a ton of homework and he is feeling the pressure. However...

    Olanzapine....

    There are no good words for me to type on here today except I am here to listen (or read in this case)....I know you are feeling frustrated with the progress of your hubby and cannot yet see the light at the end of the tunnel. All I can say is that I am here, we all are here and you can just...

    Olanzapine....

    Time for some "TLC time for Sue"!! It can be a mind-f**k some of the time...and make even the strongest question things. But that is the time to take a step back, take a deep breath and TRY to focus on something else. You have that lovely hobbie of card making! That sounds so fun, but I am...

    Hugs Sue!! Some days it feels like life on a roller-coaster ~ but not nearly the fun of a "real" roller-coaster!! I'm sending good thoughts your way!!

    NikkiNikki, I know this is so hard as your title states. But move forward with your life! Find happiness in yourself and your children. Find strength when you need it in your family and friends. You have a big heart, I can tell from your writings. You deserve happiness!! When I first met my...
