I'm getting ready to go to my son's band concert. I know my jerk of a X will be there. I just hate facing him. I hate how he treats everyone so well, and is so rude to me. I hate everything about it.

If my son wasn't so very important to me, I wouldn't go--I would hide in my house.

Dear God in heaven, please give me strength.

Can you go with a friend? Do you know one of the other "band parents" well enough to sit with them? You don't NEED to even associate with your X and witnesses usually prevent the venom!

Good luck :) BIIIIG HUGS!

Hang in there sweetie.. wear sexy lingerie under your clothing and wear cologne and feel sexy and look sexy....

forget it and play the coffee game.

Sit in the audience and look at all the men.. tell yourself.. Oh I would like one of those and one of those and I would try that one twice.... laugh a little and dream lot.

Rock on and good for you for going....

you can do this, just smile and keep remembering you're there for your son

Several suggestions, but first your son has a right to know that his father is not a great role model.
Go with a man and pretend that you are dating him.
Or walk tall, believe in yourself and be proud of who you are. Love yourself.
Or think of something beautiful and smile; he cannot steal your mind.

Oh, and to top it off, these people have no idea he left me. So, I might even get the "oh I'm so sorry" if they figure it out speech. In this neighborhood, it will lead to great gossip later tonight.

F_ck the gossip.. tell everyone .. your stbx and you are simply attempting to Role play so you can go home later and have "wild passionate sex"./.... screw them....

and and talk about how your ex likes to wear female lingerie on these occassions under his clothing.. gets him all riled up.. ha ha

I just might do that. OK, my make up's on, my hair is done--I'm off. Thanks, and I'll be back to cry later.

You are exhibiting the characteristics of a great mother by going and being there for your son. Forget about the X because he should be the least important thing in your life right now. Be strong and best of luck always.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
