- I’m tired of being strong. I’ve been having a pity party today. I know DH, who is the step-dad, is tired of me talking, complaining, B’ing about this estrangement. He used to say there is an elephant in the room and now DH says there is a...
- Last year DH, DD, and I were not invited to GS 4th b'day. That was the final straw that made me walk. Well, here it is again b'day time, June 16. DH and I received an invitation; DD did not. We are NOT going. Isn't it amazing that now ES wants...
- Last night (Tues.) 4 yr. old GS had a performance that signaled he was finishing PreK and going to Kindergarten. I was able to see GS and the PreK on Mon. at their dress rehearsal and was able to focus on GS. He was so cute singing the songs and...
- I’ve been reading but haven’t posted anything for about a week. I needed time to wrap my head around what transpired around Mother’s Day. While DH and I were at church on Mother’s Day, ES phoned and left message. My message on my...
- Easter was different without ES and family but good with DH, DD and 2 GS. All of us could be ourselves. We had a great time talking, laughing, kidding. I guess I have too much time on my hands. I'm on Spring Break and I'm feeling blue and I...
- Just to lighten up a little I thought I would wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day. (My DH is part Irish.) Be sure you wear green today so you don't get pinched and above all DON'T TAKE ANY BLARNEY FROM YOUR EC'S.Happy St. Paddy's Day to...
- Next Saturday I’ll be at Governor’s Cup an academia competition where GD and ES will be. I’ll be proctoring the written exams and coaching the Quick Recall team that GD is on. In between times there will be opportunities of being in...
- My 4yr. old GS has been suspended from PreK again (5th). This time until Feb. 7 at which time ES and DIL will get results from evaluation. GS pinched a little girl so hard that it left a bruise on her arm. I spoke with the PreK teacher and she...
- It has been nice not to have drama in my life. Since the holidays are over (my first during estrangement), my emotions have calmed down.Yeah, ES is in my mind at times, but not in the forefront and certainly not on the grand marquee and it feels...
- I haven’t posted anything recently because I have been trying to wrap my head around what happened Christmas night, but I have been reading every day to keep a perspective. The Wed. before Christmas I sent gifts to ES and family via UPS. On Fri....
- I had a wonderful weekend. For the first time in a long time ES was way back in my head. DH and I hosted his family for an early Christmas party. I came home from school Friday and started making magic in the kitchen. I made three different types...
- As some of you know I recently walked away. I spent the first Thanksgiving without ES, EDIL, and 2 GC. Thanksgiving Day was good spent with people who care for me and love me, DH, DD, 2GS (DD’s). What you do not know is this: on Thanksgiving...
- I just want to say thanks to all the good folks who responded to me about why it is so hard to walk away. I guess I'm not at the point of just walking away without trying one more time. I met with my therapist yesterday and he is in total agreement...
- After 3 years of taking ES ranting, cursing, accusing, under his microscope, excluding, acting as if nothing has happened, in my head I know enough is enough. My DH, DD do not want ES around. When I'm in a rational state, I do not either. My...
- hope4hopless gave me the courage to ask this question.My ES has been verbally abusive, disrespectful to DH, DD, and me. Several years ago (6 maybe) he told me he would never mention or ask about DD again, and he has kept his word. When he comes in...
