Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
today i am once more faced with a struggle which has plagued me my entire life: saying good-bye to a family member's ex. in my own heart, family is family, whether i like the person, or not. by the divorce tradition, ex'es are no longer members of the family and? ? ?
family is about being complete and i have already amputated more body parts than i can bear to lose. i ought to be used to it by now, but it seems to hurt worse with every new bulge in the ex-box.

I invited Bill to have dinner with me last Sunday. He wasn't willing to drive 7 hours to mid Michigan and teased me with his beautiful ribs!!! So, of course I ate alone and had cedar salmonÂ
I've recently gotten in touch with two of the ex wives of family members and sent them pictures of the happy times. Both of the ladies were grateful.
When someone is being negative or mean towards them in public opinion, I just step back and stay quiet.
I know that when it comes to family events, the children are still involved so when they come up to me and share certain things, I can relate quietly to those moments.
I know, it gets harder the older we are, because we share so many happy moments in life.
I know this is not much help. I'm with you, and hope you find what works for you.
the problem i am encountering when i attempt to keep in touch is that it keeps everybody from moving on. i believe that is the case with the woman i am currently still in touch with, several years after the breakup. i love her enough to want to see her happy and growing. done is done, gone is gone. there comes a time when it's time to let go.
i'm not sure it's getting harder as i age but methinks i am growing less tolerant and slower to trust. seems like this year's bridal shower is next year's break up drama. those are too rich for my metabolism. yo. . . ex-basher. . . please remember that exes come in twos. what you say of your ex bounces back to you.
thank you, mark. i will miss this woman dearly, but such is life in the 21st century.
Maybe I've been abruptly EX-out, but not so entirely, and that is the scoop of life and how life goes!! The merry-go-round will still go on its merry way no mater what revolves around its external force.
Whatever one does, is aligned with one's own integrity and harmony shall always be a tranquil life in the making, but if you like excitement, thrill, and at times passion... you must keep it interesting within and at times, may need to ex someone out to be happy again, just make sure you don't ex yourself out!
