- Well, court is finally done. Without even saying a single word in my defense, her story fell apart, and the judge dismissed the case. Not a lot of joy in the decision, but lots of relief! This could mean theoretically, one narc is out of my life,...
- Ok, I've been running headlong into this one for a while, and I think I've got it figured out. The saying we've all heard - "Respect is not given, it's earned."I hate it. I hate that saying. While it is true that some behavior demands less...
- O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth,That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!Thou art the ruins of the noblest manThat ever livd in the tide of times.Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood!Over thy wounds now do I prophesyWhich,...
- Yesterday, I shared an image to combat anxiety. This is the one I use to counter depression, stagnation, and hopelessness.You stand on a country lane, with green pastures all around you. The sun is high in the sky, and gloriously bright. The air...
- Just broke the news to my wife that I am not (cannot, actually) give her any money fron this pay period. She's always going on about how happy she is that her pouring all her time and energy into other people's children is allowing her to...
- I've had an idea, and I hope y'all don't mind if I share. I've got a couple of meditation routines I keep coming back to, and I think it's time I put them down. Hopefully, they'll be of some use to someone. I'll start with anxiety, as my PTSD got...
- So my wife has filed for legal separation.I asked her what brought it on, and she responded a few different reasons:She's tired of living like this. (So am I. Good reason.)She's tired of me treating her like I am. (Blame. Rejected.)She feels...
- I told her one of the things on my list: "Spend less time watching other people's children."I said "I understand that it makes you feel useful, that you're helping your friends, that you're contributing to the finances, that you're giving to your...
- I'll admit, the dark thoughts are building again. Many reasons, one result.I yearn to be free of this nightmare. I question how much divorce will help with that. Months of legal and financial wrangling, on top of the other legal nightmare... it's...
- Need to get my mind around this one.One of my wife's things that drives me bananas now (that I've learned to recognize it) is this: When we are in a group setting, if I am having a conversation with anyone - particularly anyone I'm related to or...
- I have two never-fail-to-get-me-grinning-like-an idiot songs. One is Small World, from the ride, and here's the second:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1Vjorjlon4Yeah. I'm totally a brony.
- http://www.heartless-bitches.com/rants/manipulator/eighteasyways.shtmlEight ways to spot an emotional manipulator. A word of warning - I don't care for the tone of the site. It's very aggressive, and very down on men. I've commented on it before....
- So, today's my 11th anniversary. My wife wants to do something tonight. She's leaving it up to me. After we finish Christmas shopping. After my son's birthday party. Which she invited all her friends and our family to. I bought my son a...
- I know that the Holidays are a stressful time for most of us, and it's a real shame, because they shouldn't need to be. And they don't have to be. Further, I know that a holiday I spent with the good people I've met here would be a good one, so if...
- My wife was sick with the flu all weekend. I went over on Sunday, so that I could watch the kids, and she could sleep. She's still not feeling the greatest.But I didn't let that stop me. Today, I turned in the form that would transfer my paycheck...
