- I haven't posted in... maybe close to a year. My divorce has been final since last February. I don't think of my ex at all anymore. I don't miss him. I can see the disastrous and inevitable end to our relationship that I couldn't see coming before....
- I went to a really good counselor earlier this year to help me get my anger out over my ex. I only saw her half a dozen times, but in those few short sessions she said a few things that really stuck with me. I've been thinking about a few of them...
- Just stopping by to see how everyone is doing and how a few people that I have grown to care about are... and one's account is closed. My first thought was THANK GOD! Because I still believe when you are truly over the mess we've all been through...
- I'm not going to go into my background here too much. Some of you already know who I am although I haven't been around much. If you know my story just skip this paragraph :) The short of it is my husband is in the army and has been gone for 15...
- I think it's time DS and I practice NC. I thought about this while writing a paper on kids with disabilities learning in an environment with kids without disabilities. If you put kids with autism in a room together they only learn how other kids...
- I read something a friend wrote about me this weekend that made me cry. It said that she has watched me lose so much this past year and went through enough to make anyone crumble and still I moved through it with grace, dignity and strength and she...
- Being the child of an alcoholic adds a nasty little twist to ones life. Everyone represses feelings at different times during their lives because those feelings are hard to deal with. When you learn that nifty little skill as a child you become...
- I don't think a lot of people fully realize how important it is for you to be happy with yourself. In a nut shell, this is what has allowed me to come through my separation fully intact. (I'm not saying I don't have my bad days)I was thinking of the...
- I've let go of my husband. He told me he's not in love with me. Why would I want him back? Yes in the beginning the emotional roller coaster was intense but when all those emotions were out and dealt with I was still left with the simple truth that...
- Just something to think about. When you look back on the way you were before you met your ex do you think if someone would have told you how and when it would end you would still do it again?
- With something that wasn't bricks. I just saw the word defensive and realized I'm not. After falling in love with the man of my dreams and being blind sided and dumped one day, I still don't have any defenses. I tore down my walls 7 years ago and...
- Is there anyone out there in DS land who has lost a good marriage? I keep reading threads asking about what you don't miss, or when you should have left or what red flags did you miss. Or I just found out my spouse cheated on me, I was abused, I was...
- Because that's where I feel like I am lately. I keep thinking about the other side. About all the people who did the breaking up. I think it's helped me to keep in mind through all of this that my stbx didn't do any of this out of spite. He doesn't...
- So this is a new spin on Chi's "If you could give yourself anything for Christmas what would it be" thread. If you could turn yourself into a whole new person, what would that person be like? What job would you have, where would you live, what...
- I quit smoking almost 5 years ago and I keep finding similarities in quiting smoking and quiting my stbx. If any of you have quit smoking you know that the cravings you get only last a few minutes and if you wait it out the craving goes away. I...
