ya know, I dont know why they arent contacting you. There is surely a reason, but ti might be for they are waiting for you to contact them based on whose family they are?

When me and the ex split, I wondered why no one called me to find out my side, or anything, but I found out later, they were just confused and felt bad to what happened to us cus of their daughters behavior. So they were "scared" for a lack of a better word. Once I contact them, just to say Happy Holidays, they were very welcoming and showed how much they cared.

Chrs, maybe you should take your spouse' offer to see a counselor/therapist together. How about seeing a psychiatrist for some meds to help see you through this very tough time. There are some very effective meds for anxiety. I'll say a little prayer for you. lob, jreb

    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...
