Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
My mom called late yesterday afternoon to tell me that the thoracic surgeon had confirmed that my stepdad has lung cancer. I've know this day would come eventually. He's 69 yo, had a double bypass 29 years ago yesterday, started smoking when he was 9 and only quit 2 years ago. He has COPD, emphysema, and congestive heart failure. So he's not exactly a good surgical candidate.
My mom wants me to support her through this. She told me so yesterday. I don't know that I can. She doesn't know about my near breakdown the day before Thanksgiving or how ugly my divorce is getting. I haven't told her most of what's gone on because I don't trust her not to badmouth STBX to my sons. I mean she still badmouths my bio-dad to me, my brother and our kids! And she's been divorced since 1974!
I've told my boys, and part of me wants to call STBX so badly. I'm lonely and sad. Please help me not to call him.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

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...
Put the phone down, and walk away slowly!
I'm so sorry this is so hard on you (((Hugs)))
Grrr, I hate it when he's sweet! It brings all my defenses (not that I have that many) down.
