- Personalbest and I seem to be on a mini vacation in Numbville. This is what we have named our current state of mind in regard to our EC. The obsessing is behind us and we are finding it harder to summon up the emotions of anger, frustration and...
- It's getting easier I think to myself. On the surface, that's a good thing, right? But just below the surface and closer to my heart, it feels wrong. It feels like a betrayal of the love I have had for 42+ years for my child and a betrayal of the...
- I think those of you who have read my posts and have come to know me a bit are aware that I have a close group of women friends with whom I am fortunate to spend quite a bit of time. I've mentioned that I don't talk much about my ED or situation...
- I touched on this in a reply to Sadmom77's discussion topic but feel it worthy of it's own discussion post.I spent a few hours in the car with my friend this weekend. Although they are aware of the situation with my ED, we do not discuss it much as...
- Do you ever worry that Estrangement is affecting your health? I know that I feel like I have aged significantly in the last eighteen months. I do not have the energy I used to have. I get headaches frequently. I still occasionally get heart...
- I don't know how many of you have noticed I got a new avatar. I think I plucked it from Pinterest but it so spoke to me about my current state of mind. In case it is not completely clear, it states "Don't Look Back" and at the fork in the road the...
- I met with four of my best friends yesterday at a Martini Bar to discuss our plans and make reservations for our upcoming "Girls Trip". This all started with a conversation started by one of my friends telling us she would like to show us Maine;...
- Independence Day is just around the corner and I say we should honor and celebrate it for not only for it's original purpose or meaning but also as our own personal Independence Day. Let's declare a severance from our feelings of betrayal, sadness,...
- I just learned that my ED has lost her job. In spite of everything my first thoughts on the matter was how could I help? I found myself considering different ways I could successfully send her a couple of thousand anonymously. After further...
- To say that 2014 has not been a great year so far is an understatement. My husband and I have both been under a great deal of pressure with both business and family matters the last six or seven months. I have noticed a "slippage" in my ability to...
- I am hoping some of you can give me some advice or insight into the possibilities of having a relationship with the children of your EC. In my situation, my ED has not only rejected me but has pretty much rejected her son as well. They have at...
- I have been away from home and very involved in a remodel of a rental house I own in my old hometown. It has consumed my time, energy and pocketbook this last three weeks. I am in the home stretch now and hope to be back home and ready to start...
- I wanted to share with all of you a FB message I received last night from my youngest (DD)……..Mom, I am so irritated I can't see straight. We just got into a huge fight with Sherri (her MIL) this evening. She means well, but is so controlling...
- As some of you know, I am away from home taking care of some rental business in my old hometown. It has been a very busy, stressful two weeks. I am staying with my sister and although I love her dearly, she is extremely judgmental in her...
- Please excuse my absence for a few days and from Thursday's Chat Room this week. I am out of town dealing with another mother's poor excuse of a son whom I have had to evict from my rental. He left a big mess and a path of destruction which I, my...
