I just got home from my cousin's house. She was having one of those candle parties and saw family I havent seen in years. While she was asking where I lived and where I was working etc. my 6 year old comes storming in the room and says...
"My dad is mean and he doesnt like my mom. They are getting divorced!" and then he walked off.
My cousin turned to me,put her hand on my shoulder and with that sickening sympathetic look turns to me and says.. "Oh Shell..I'm sooo sorry" Good Lord! I dont want sympathy!!
Anyone else feel sickened by initial responses? i soo dont want to be THAT girl that peeps are feeling sorry for....

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...
Which is worse?
And Yes...I am with you on the sympathy b.s. too.
I don't have any little kids to spill the beans though, if I want to tell someone, I get to do it myself when I'm good and ready
I heard those words so many times that I actually started believing them. But you know what? I really don't care anymore! If another woman never looks at me again - then so be it! At least I am rid of her.
And for when people tellme that they are sorry - i look them straight in the eye and say "Don't be, because I'm not!"
