- I've been struggling some lately, and it's unexpected. I thought that if I worked hard and finished my degree and moved back to my home town among my friends that I would finally be free of the sadness and grief from my divorce. At times, I've felt...
- My friend sent me this link on FB. As I read it, I began shaking. It strikes very close to home for women who have suffered in an abusive relationship, often without realizing they were in one until after they are removed from the abusive partner....
- I mentioned not long ago that I've moved back to my hometown area near St. Louis. I'm very glad to be back among my friends and some of my family. I'm also closer to my kids here. But, there's one thing I was dreading - the possibility of running...
- I am grateful that this past week I had my son and my daughter together for the first time in 3 years. It's been 3 years since that dreadful Mother's Day when my ex announced to me that we were separating. In that time, we've been divorced, he...
- I'm truly sorry that I've missed so much here over the last several months. I really missed the connection with all of you. Yet, it was a fruitful absence. I finally graduated with my BS in Environmental Biology and then only a few days later moved,...
- I had to say goodbye to my little Boston Terrier, Champion, today. He's been a part of my family for nearly 13 years. He's been a loyal companion to me through all the heartache and loss over the last three years. I honestly don't know what I would...
- I've come to the point in my healing process where it's important for me to fully understand how I came to be in this place at this time in my life. I really want to move forward and start to leave the painful past behind me. But, I feel the weight...
- I know some of you may have wondered if I fell off the face of the planet. I've been away for quite a long time. There are so many new people here, which makes me both sad and glad to get to know their stories. And, I've missed the familiar ones....
- I saw this article on Tiny Buddha today and wanted to share it with all of you. Here is the link:http://tinybuddha.com/blog/nothing-will-be-enough-if-relationship-isnt-right/It's such a simple statement and yet so profound. I know that many of you...
- Throughout the ordeal of my separation and divorce, everyone kept telling me I needed to get angry and stay angry. I understand that anger can be a good thing, especially when it motivates you to make needed changes in your life. Nevertheless, I...
- I am eternally grateful to all the members here for their compassion, wisdom, encouragement, support, and stories of healing and even of grief. Each of you has touched my life in innumerable ways. I am forever changed because of your love and...
- Ok, posting twice in the same day is a rare thing for me, but I kinda need a little support. Since my separation more than two years ago my ex has been hiding in the shadows in terms of an online presence. He's quite the coward, and I figured this...
- When I was a little girl, my parents taught me certain key principles that I've tried to live by my entire life. I wasn't always successful, mind you, but I did try to abide by them. Among them was the edict to be honest and genuine, never to lie or...
- Today I made the difficult decision to end my first post-divorce relationship. In doing so, I realized that I had never been the one to break up before. I have to say, I'm not a fan. I don't like hurting someone else. But, I took great care to be...
- I had a rather profound realization today that I hope will help so many of you who are hurting because you're stuck in the pit of sadness and feeling helpless and alone. I know those feelings very well myself. A little over two years ago, the life I...
