- I am wondering if there is a connection between having high blood pressure and developing Bell's palsy. Does anyone else here have both conditions and maybe feel that they're related?I developed Bell's Palsy last Saturday night into Sunday morning...
- I don't know who is still around on this new site, but here goes:After several years of this estrangement, I finally put an end to it a year and a half ago and told ED no more, enough! (long story, most of it resembles yours ;) )So two days ago DH...
- Apparently my ED is still using my grocery discount card under my old phone number....Should I update the info so she can't use it anymore, or just leave it and allow her to think she's still duping me?I know the way she thinks, and its something...
- About five months ago I was in turmoil due to this ongoing estrangement, so I broke down and got a chi pup.I already have two big yard dogs, but they weren't doing it for me. I really needed a small lap dog I could cuddle. Well I'm here to tell you...
- I'm fighting the urge to email her a two word message of Happy Birthday, nothing else. I know I shouldn't, but I keep circling that thought.Please tell me not to ! Talk me down off the edge !
- It feels strange to realize that it's okay to just be me without her (ED), that I'm facing the rest of my life without her in it. I've felt guilty for so long, felt like I should have done something more, or better, etc. I don't know how to be me...
- Well here comes another Mother's day where I have to watch ED (this time via FB) fawn all over her latest mother. This time it doesn't hurt as much because I'm aware of what's happening. Just wondering who else has this problem ......
- Quick back story: Our ED has been on and off estranged for the last 15 years. This past holiday season, no contact from before Thanksgiving until after New Year's (around the 25th) I reluctantly and tersely answered her texts because she only...

- After a very bad experience with ED several years ago, I swore I'd never rent to her again.Long years later, she contacted DH this morning wanting to rent from us again.(We have three very modest rent houses that we keep in pretty good condition and...
- My ED told DH she was job hunting and texted him her new phone number. Now she's back to not responding to any texts he sends to her (mine too). So, why did she give out her new number in the first place?We would have never known she lost her job...
- DH tries every trick in the book, he pushes every button, in an attempt to get me to accept a reconciliation if it ever became a possibility. I've barely got myself patched back together this last go round, and I don't want to reconcile. He's going...
- Why am I so fragile and vulnerable ?I used to be a strong person.I just found out that my ED is interviewing for a job in this town and might be moving back here.Why should this bother me at all, when she used to live here we practically never...
- I am coming to the realization that I was/am/and will be the eternal bad guy in all of ED's stories.So be it, I'm going to embrace it, own it, enjoy it.If it will help ED to get along and gain closure, I will be her villain.Conversely though, she...
- I've spent the last few years of this estrangement defending myself as a mother (mostly to myself) saying I was a good mother and did nothing wrong, so what went wrong.I've decided that I must have not been as innocent as I always thought I was, but...
