- For those that remember me, I have been absent for a time. I believe the last post was in regards to my ex husband asking me to attend his mother's funeral. That was the end of Oct.A lot has happened since then. I hope to be on here more and I have...
- At work, trying to keep the tears at bay and its hard. My ex sister in law just called with news that my ex mother in law (whom I was very close to) just passed away this morning. She did this out of love for me as my ex husband would probably not...
- Between contacting him on facebook awhile back and not getting the closure I was wanting after his phone call to start fresh, then blocking him because he left me hanging after I asked him why he called when I had heard he was dating and happy, I...
- I am tentatively on a couple dating sites, more to just chat and test my boundaries than actually date, but still I have to wonder if some of these people are really who they say they are. Perhaps it is because my last ex totally misrepresented...
- So I had mentioned my therapist was taking some time off and I will not be seeing her for regular weekly sessions.At first I had figured no big deal but now that I am on my second Monday missing a session and another to go before I see her, I am...
- This kind of struck me today as I was talking with my older brother at work. Why do we seem to seek approval or validation from others, from our bosses, our co workers, friends, parents, to the men our women in our lives that we are dating or...
- Just wanted to warn everyone that I had taped this as it was based on Stephen Kings story and I love his stuff. Unfortunately I really didn't realize what it was about and once I started watching I realized it was a huge trigger for anyone who has...
- I blocked him, both on my phone and facebook. I usually can do NC for around 9 months before he gets to me. I think this time, it was the dread of the upcoming holidays combined with the estrangement of my younger brother and his family. I am not...
- Ok, I hate to ask this as it's lengthy and I feel so insecure and weak at this point, but after months of NC on my end other than asking about a mower for my dad and trying to keep emotions out of play on my end, and I am talking since last...
- The current therapist I have is pretty good and I can mostly communicate with her but even after 8 sessions or so I feel like we are rehashing to much and covering boundaries and codependency too much and should be covering other issues.I knew I was...
- Why am I so bothered by the fact that when I do allow even the smallest amount of contact, to try to maintain my edge, he somehow seems to gain control? When he left the vm saying we should just start fresh and to call him, he was easy to talk to...
- I am oftentimes my own worst enemy. I have suffered sexual, physical and emotional abuse since I was a very young child. I grew up in an alcoholic household and I have very co-dependent behavior. I have tried different counselors, medication, and...
- I had noticed you had a song post up and I am not sure of your musical taste but their are a few songs that really hit me about narcissism, infidelity, emotional unavailability and such.I don't know how to post but here are song title and...
- Well I ended up missing my therapist appmt today due to a conflict in schedule time, insurance snafu, work related issues and after I rescheduled for next week I basically ended up taking my time I did get off to go home, clean kennels, let dogs run...
- Hello all. I have been gone for quite awhile. Been trying to do the work on myself and it's been super hard. Seeing a new therapist and not sure about her yet but I am trying.In the meantime, I have had severe conflict with the sister in law that I...
