Yeah - me too. LOL

I don't go over there much any more. Too much "tough love".

I think it's "Jerk Decade"

There is so much hate that comes out in a divorce. Let's keep behaving like we know is right, and not stoop to the jerks level

Your sweet Jack, too bad our spouses didn't have some of your qualities, none of us would be going through this hell.

What this is, is the holidays are over, the new year is here, and I want this divorce done stuff, or I not going to do xy and z and in general the world is not a good place. Or it is 2009.. a new year turning over, time to change ( blank)

It is not just divorce breakup people, the bills are here, the taxes, it is winter in a good part of the country. Dec and Jan are big for therapy.. and divorce!

Wow, jerk is way too kind!!! I have some better fitting words, but I will keep them to myself!

MsTerey, you are right...there seems to be much on everyone's plate right now and I don't know about everyone else, but I am feeling more than overwhelmed!!!

I concur with all above. Century of the Jerks?

Here Here!

Maybe we can find another planet that supports life (barely) and start separating out the "jerks" from the rest of us who play nice and by the rules, who say what we mean, and mean what we say? Who find lying and cheating despicable, who take/took our vows seriously then, now and forever? Send the 'other life forms' like the ah-hem 'jerks' x's stbx's, ow, om and all the rest of the scum far, far away - where the only thing we get from them is financial or positive parental support. No more head games, negative twisted behaviors, nasty emails, scary phone calls, horrible court appearances, knocks on the door, yelling, shouting, threatening behavior of any sort, hurtful behavior toward us or our children, or any loved ones, - or any of this crap that these mean, selfish, egocentric minds can think of!

Sure, these stressful economic times make everyone on edge and feel out of sorts; it also tends to bring out the true nature of a human being's personality. Add in the cold, dark weather some of you have, the pressure of bills, job losses, or potential job losses and divorce looming and it's enough to make anyone crack - but it's how you handle yourself under the most extreme pressure that shows your maturity, your grace under pressure, your confidence in your self, and your ability to be flexible. To admit you need help from others instead of blaming others is a sign of courage and strength - or so I am told repeatedly!
LOL

I see much courage, strength, and a lot of grace under extreme pressure from each member of this group.

Very nicely said Jean.

Jerk day, jerk month, jerk year. Happnes anytime we have to deal with these idiots.

Aaarrrghh! I need a spellchecker! Happens

Yeah, my stbx has now decided to be a "jerk". I thought we could avoid it, but maybe not. Perhaps he will pull his head out of his hiney, and we can still have this be amicable.

DITTO! Jerk with a capitol 'J' !!!!

I agree Msterey- This is the time of year for stree. It just serves to remind me that he never did handle any of this stress. (taxes, bills, kids...) Jerk is to kind a word!
