Well....I haven't been around very much at all the past few months. Have been really busy with summer, work, preparing to go back to school & my kids. I had been doing really well 7 thought that I had made such progress on my road but I seemed to have back slid sometime in the past couple of weeks. What would've been our 10th anniversary was this past Thursday on the 24th. I began feeling blue a few days before then. We had always talked about renewing our vows on our 10 year.... Oddly enough, on the actual day, I seemed fine but then on Friday, for some stupid reason, I read an email from a few months ago. The flood gates opened & I had a very rough weekend just feeling angry & decastated all over again. I went to pick up our daughter at his place on Sunday for church & he came down to the door. That made me angry as I dont want to see him or talk to him at all. On the way to church, Olivia informed me in her innocent 8 yr. old manner that she has met his girlfriend several times & that they had all gone to the beach together the day before....then she added how pretty she is. I sat there the whole time being supportive as I want Olivia to be happy & none of this is the problem of an 8 year old but I was dying inside. I din't know they were still seeing eachother & why does she get to do " family" things with MY family? .....Why does he get to jump into the next relationship without barely a blink of an eye & be happy when I am still dealing with the anger & greif of my marriage ending? I"M SO FUCKING ANGRY STILL!!!!!!! I JUST WANT TO SHUT OFF EVERY FEELING FOR HIM THAT I HAVE EVER HAD! Why is it so frigging easy to stop loving him but so bloody difficult to stop hating him?  Why am I still feeling this way after almost a year of separation.....I dont want to be the victim anymore but it all still hurts so damn much!!!

Pam, I am sorry. I just read this and I know where you are!! I too have \"heard\" from her and about her thru a friend. I am so damn upset and angry. All we can do is try to let it go and know we are good people with great big hearts. Things arent always what they appear. Dont read into it anything more. He is lonely too and maybe this is just a \"body\". I have to stop thinking the worst of every situation. Try to be around friends/family who love you no matter what and positive people. Make yourself feel good being loved by those people. I was a mess last night and a girlfriend of mine called becasue i didnt go to racketball-she was looking forward to seeing me becasue she ahd a bad day and so we talked and I feel better now.
But I know how you feel. My ex has gone to her condo in Fla with this new guy of 5 months and is talking moving there with him!!! Isnt f$@*&$ fair. But we will be there one day when we are good and ready. Stay tru to yourself and we all love you and are here at the touch of a button....HUGS!!!...Mark
