I am having a hard time because not only do I not have my old movie-going partner anymore(X) but my teens do not like to do anything with me anymore except dinner at a restaurant(which I really...

MY X showed up at my daughter's annual IEP meeting at the school yesterday. We three have not been together in so long. We didn't speak, although he exchanged a few words with her, she told me that...

Ok, things will never be the same and I do not like it. I still hid baskets for my kids, but there wasn't any family to be with and one child went off with her father tonight (One sick and oldest...

My X's sister died yesterday after failing health for many years. She was very kind and I wish her rest in peace. Because of finances and because of the divorce, I cannot attend her funeral out of...

I had two dogs. A year and a half ago I discovered my husband's affair and one week later my dear sweet  female  dog was dead. My husband did not hold me or cry with me. He was too busy hanging...

My daughters and I are reeling. My poor Jasper did not have Lyme disease or something wrong with his leg. He had a cancerous tumor by his spine (shoulder area) trachea, and esophagus. By Sunday...

I know that this was unusual but I did not have to text or phone my stbx in the last 24 hours and I was much calmer because of it. The down side is that I still do not have some vital info I need...
