Julie, you crack me up....please tell me you did a 5 mile hike and won! Maybe, that would get me to get over the hump and exercise!
Susan, awe that's sad that your daughter's Dad is missing out on her life. Thank you for sharing your "slice" of life. It's a new thing sharing my son with another woman, but I have to say she is really good to him. My ugly jealousy side comes out and another thing I have to work on and have acceptance. Dang, all these life lessons! I just want recess and do the spider on the swings when life was simple and we didn't even know it. This board is my group therapy, and its alway is nice to have people I have never met but share a common bond with being sooooo supportive. Never, in a million years did I think I would be pouring out my feelings on a forum to people I don't know but Breast Cancer I am learning is a true sisterhood. And so is being a Mom to.
Socalgal.....I read your post a few times, and when you said my ex is so "pedestrian". That's hysterical!
Snolan....good thing he has text or I wouldn't be on a forum I would be in a institution.
Lien you are right about the emotional thing it always doesn't match our intellect.
Cat and you are right material things isn't what matters, and I am seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. And he pulled away or avoided more this year, and I have read about that happening. But he is doing better with coming around now, so keeping my fingers crossed he keeps going down this path. It's all new this living together thing, but as my Mom always tells me this is only temporary and this to shall pass (meaning my feelings towards the situation).
