About Me
I'm a customer service representative. I have 2 married daughters and 5 wonderful grandchildren, the oldest six and the youngest 1. I live on the Gulf coast so naturally I love the water.I play guitar ratherly badly but with feeling , I'm generous with the people I love and try to understand the ones I don't. Just going through a divorce after 35 years of marriage.My philosophy is you have to learn to swim across the riptide else you'll drown for sure.

Hug
Thank you dear sweet Carter. I love receiving your hugs. There is a familiar comfort in them..Yes the holidays do bring back a flood of memories. My ex inlaws are coming to my house again this year. It is important to my children and I do love them dearly. I have had Thanksgiving with them so much of my married life. More than my own parents. They are good people. I am thankful for you, I am thankful that even though there are many miles between us I feel your love and concern. My life is better because of you..I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your daughters and grandchildren..I am well my superman....Love Lynette your melon mama....

Hug
Thank you so much for the hug this morning..I have been gone all morning and just got back. I am having a great day so far. I went to my counselor and my daughter is here to celebrate her birthday which was yesterday...Big hugs to you my dear, dear friend. I am so thankful for you..
Love Lynette-
Hug
Yes my daughter was watching the Notebook the other night. I watched part of it and couldn't take it anymore...I have thought that too Carter, that maybe the plan for my life got side lined or something...But not sure how that all works. My ex would say something like that when HELL freezes over...LOL My oldest daughter has been here the last couple of days, she is so much fun. My youngest just turned 12 so she was here to help celebrate. She is moving to Colorado next week and boy am I going to miss her..I do wish we lived closer so we could just sit and talk and share all of our wisdom....Well at least sit and talk....LOL
Love you my dear
Lynette

Close Breakups & Divorce
I've been married to my high school sweetheart for a little over 35 years and it's never been easy. I was in the military and she was fresh out of high school when we married, too young and too dumb to listen to what other's said about marrying so young but we knew better and were determined not to let it happen to us. I'll have to say we gave it one hell of a try.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- It might have worked if we had kept it up.
- Forgiveness Not Working
- No matter how hard you try I think there's a part of you that just can't forget completly.
- Leave Not Working
- We've just split for the forth time, third time in just over a year. Last three have been her wanting to leave and she's come back twice. It's not a option this time
- Love Not Working
- Love has to be equal and non conditional period.
- Music Somewhat Helpful
- Pets Somewhat Helpful
- I think they help you put your mind on something else but they are lives you become responsible for later on.
- Time Not Working
- What can I say ? It was over 20 years after her affairs in our early years thinking I had put it behind me, us, only to have it change when I reached the 50 mark.
