I am recently divorced. Spent the last 2 1/2 years in a physical and emotionally abusive relationship. Now, I'm trying to pick up the pieces of my life. I don't have any children, unless you count my four cats, 1 bird and a dog, which I do. I have a niece that I couldn't love more if she were my child. I'm just looking for peace and tranquility in my life.

I enjoy music of all types, especially rock and roll. Bob Seger is THE MAN...he speaks to my soul. I am an animal lover through and through. I love reading, spending time with my family and friends and trying to make my life as wonderful as it can be.

Thanks for the response Katt. I am attempting to limit contact. I only wish I could just tell him to take a flying leap and be done forever.
Glad to see that you are in a good mood about your ex's bday. Too bad so sad, lets all cry a little for him. Jerk. Sorry.
Take care of yourself and I will talk again soon. Just back from 10 hour day and need to eat something today.

It makes me happy that you felt peace when reading MY FARM. It was a wonderfully beautiful day and I'm glad I could share it with you.
I am not sure why things are so bad this year. I know that it's all for a reason. I am enjoying my freedom and I am excited with my new life.
Just hung up with my ex we are going to be talking for awhile while our son is growing about insurance shools and what not. Stuff he's never given a second thought because I was doing it all.
HE said he has to go to work tomorrow, he hates working especially on weekends and now that I am out of work I wonder if he resents me even more.
Counseling is really important. Start looking for a good counselor now, the good ones are sometimes difficult to find or get appointment for. I would ask for a counselor specializing in alcohol addiction, that's crucial or your stories will fly over. If I had gone to this counselor years ago I wouldn't have married him at all. i saw a woman that just did not care and had nothing to say so I stopped going after 3 times. I have been going to A. since the day my husband left the house. she works with alcoholics and all people families that have had contact with the problem. You are also brave and strong and have to recognize that you are very noble and true that's why you hurt so bad, you can't find reciprocation with addicts. I have talked to G 3 times today his mood was different each time.
Can't wait for my new life to start, hopefully a grat job is in the future.
Dear Katt
Keep the faith. Realize that things will happen out of your control always, but it doesn't mean the world is ending. I know this because I have been through a lot of life changing events even only at 32 years old.
I have to say that counseling with the right therapist has made me think differently about my situation, about my choices and discover my powers within. I encourage you to look into it now and not wait , Holidays tend to make things worse.
You have a lot of friends here, but talking in person with a professional is different in my experience and will validate your feelins which is important for the moving on part. It could take you a while to get there but think of the benefits. What wouldn't you give right now to feel better and move on instead of cry over the creep you love and hate at the same time? If my therapist wasn't there helping me through the emotional rollercoster I might be back with him hating my days or just be really depressed and yelling at everyone all the time. I know he is not the worst man but i sure wouldn't want to be around him anymore. I am looking for a different life all together. Best wishes to you Katt
A lesson that should be taught in all schools . . And colleges
Back in September, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a social studies school teacher at Robinson High School, did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks out of her classroom.
When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks.
'Ms.. Cothren, where're our desks?'
She replied, 'You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn the right to sit at a desk.'
They thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades.'
'No,' she said.
'Maybe it's our behavior.'
She told them, 'No, it's not even your behavior.'
And so, they came and went, the first period, second period, third period. Still no desks in the classroom.
By early afternoon television news crews had started gathering in Ms.Cothren's classroom to report about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of her room.
The final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the deskless classroom, Martha Cothren said, 'Throughout the day no one has been able to tell me just what he/she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom. Now I am going to tell you.'
At this point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it.
Twenty-seven (27) War Veterans, all in uniforms, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk. The Vets began placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall... By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned..
Martha said, 'You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks. These heroes did it for you. They placed the desks here for you. Now, it's up to you to sit in them. It is your responsibility to learn, to be good students, to be good citizens. They paid the price so that you could have the freedom to get an education. Don't ever forget it.'
By the way, this is a true story.
Please consider passing this along so others won't forget that the freedoms we have in this great country were earned by War Veterans.
I'm looking for support from others beside my family and close friends. They don't seem to understand why I seem to be having trouble moving forward.
I am looking for additional support, besides my family and friends to deal with my emotions after filing for divorce.
I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. Looking for addtional support to deal with this besides family and friends.
Looking for support and encouragement to get control over my weight. I also hope to inspire others.
