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.
Last night I couldn't sleep.I kept coming back here to DS because I was just tossing and turning.So in my infinite wisdom I decided it would be best for me to leave DS because I needed to move on in life.
I spent today going through old photos getting rid of ones I didn't want but actually keeping ones I did want even though they reminded me of the ex.
That may sound like not much,but to me it's a big deal.That means that I don't want to think of him but don't mind being reminded of him.In fact I could finally laugh smile and conjure up memories without crying or feeling bad or angry.
I did at one moment see a picture from Christmas with a few family members.In it my cousin seemed to be looking at him like "What an a$$."It made me laugh but feel a little like "Aw hell I should have seen things for what they were sooner."That feeling faded fast.Almost like it didn't happen.
Moral of the story....
I know I wouldn't be at this point if I didn't have the strength to cope and move ahead.Still,without you guys,I'm not sure I could be where I am now.It would have taken longer and I wouldn't have all the knowledge and wisdom I do now.
Call me foolish for thinking I am strong enough to turn my back to friends,stories,laughs,tears, and moments (just moments) that give me more strengh than I have alone.
I'm sticking around for a while.Hopefully I can be someone else's strength whether I know it or not as many of you have been for me.

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...
