Divorce after Twenty years together Community Group

I want to start something for those of us that were married for a long long time. I think that we face a little different issues than those who were dating for a few years or even married for shorter period of time. Being married for so long we have older children some have grandkids dealing with teenagers and their reaction to the divorice empty nesters dating after 40...

The Pity Pot

Would someone please take this Pity Pot off my hands - I'm tired of carrying it around.

Enough of that - time to put on the big girl panties.

I'm coming out of the funk, getting rid of the junk and I'm lookin for a hunk. (just kidding about the hunk part).

Thank you to all who have been there for me these past couple of weeks. I'm even tired of hearing myself complain.

Time to pick up the pieces and start putting my life back together again. Much love and hugs to my DS family.

You are there for all of us all of the time! You have had a tough couple of weeks and it is ok to throw yourself a pity party! We all do it! You just have to be sure you don't stay there! If you are still there in Jan. then I will have to give you an attitude adjustment;~)

You hang in there and cry, vent, and scream all you want! We are here for you!

Love ya, girl! Chin up! Tomorrow is a new day!

We may be working morning, noon and night but we will survive. Someway and somehow we will do it. I don't have anywhere near the money I did before he left but I'm surviving. Everytime something breaks in the house I cringe. Two things broke this weekend and I had to call in repairmen. I didn't have a choice.

You'll be OK. You're a smart and beautiful woman. You keep getting knocked down but you keep picking yourself back up. He isn't capable of breaking you.

Hugs to you. Stay strong and tough.

It's a great day when the pity pot no longer has it's hold on us. But sometimes we have to do it to get past it. It's ok, that's what we're all here for. When you get it out, it doesn't become part of you. But I liked what Sue said too, "he isn't capable of breaking you". It's so true.

the one thing good about the pity pot is that when you're down,your way down, but when everything is great it is an AWESOME feeling!!!and we can appreciate the good feeling! It's ok to cry, but yes, get up dust yourself off and put your big girl panties on and deal with it! I love that saying. Many hugs to you Chrissy..thanks for being there for us too!
