Still,

{{{Hugz}}}} 2 u and your family.

These are hard times and you seem to be on more stable ground. This means that if he tries to shake your stance, you will be better suited to recover.

As for work....well they have to say that but they c/b more understanding. There was an Oprah segment where a supervisor was key in helping put away an abusive H. So even if we have to check our problems at the door, a wise manager (I used t/b one - <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ) would listen and lend a hand so that the employee can function productively. Otherwise, I would wonder why that manager isn't managing their employees with the kind of care they s/b.

take care,
L.

Orchid,

No my boss was very nice about it. She felt really abd about ahving to bring it up. I had just had a really bad day (the worst so far) and we do need to worry about patient safety.

I do feel on more stable ground. There is alot going on and I will post more later. Some good some questionable.

Maybe not about the marriage but there is plenty you can do to hold your WH accountable. Get the very best deal for you
and your children including college costs, child support, healtcare, life insurance policy for life with you as beneficiary, spousal maintenance, property settlement, etc.

SH, you fought the good fight its time to finish this by standing your ground and protecting you and your children from this "man's" lunacy, bad judgement and selfishness.

HP,

Yes he is going to pay the price. I am resigned that the man I thought he was is no longer there. He has lost all his values and integrity. I don't wnat the man he is right now. And he doesn't wish to change.

So in 1 week unless there in a meteor shower that changes all WS I will be divorced.

Saw my pastor tonight and we prayed together. Prayed for God to give me clear vision. Prayed for WH that he opens his heart to God. He said I seemed better today.... not like the last time where I looked like I was drowning and waving for a life preservor. He going to address the OW with WH and told me if he lies it's between him and God.

I think I am begining to finally let go.

Hi,

Just wanted to update have been away for awhile. I think some of this was adding to my depression.

On Tuesday I dropped my divorce complaint with it documented that I no longer feel that our differences are irreconcialable, Mt attorney let his attorney know and so far mothing has changed.
Although WH did call me 5am one morning and we talked. I think he is confused. He said this is hard for him and he feels like he is on an island all by himself. I told him he doesn't need to be there. That he knows what he can do and I would love to help him through this. That it would be alot of hard work, all he had to do was say the word and drop his counterfile. He said he really has alot of thinking to do over the next couple of days. I told him it's still not to late but if the divorce becomes final the door will close and I will be moving forward and not looking back.
So we still have our court date for June 12 at 8:30am.= in front of a judge. The divorce will probably not be final on that day because of all our complications. And even between that time we can still drop the divorce.
I am in such a better place right now. I know I will make it either way.
As I told my WH I want to share my future with him but I will be happy and healthy regardless.
Hope this peace lasts over the weekend and I can not get worked up about court date on Tuesday.

Still

Good for you Still! I'm so happy that you have found some peace...as LA would say it, you are living by your code...

You sound like you know exactly what you want and you are going after it!

So, he's confused that's a good thing!

He sees you, don't you doubt that, he sees the change!

And it was good to take a break, we all need that from time to time...including myself!

YOU SOUND SOOO GOOD! Keep up the great work!

Rin,

I tried posting but it got lost in cyber space.

I e-mailed you. I will always love my H but he is not here anymore. I 'm not sure getting the court date affected him as much as it did me.

I find I am recovering faster then before. Still have moments of deep pain but they don't last as long.

Like I e-mailed going out dancing with some girlfriends... need to get out and let my hair down. Ready to boogie to some oldies.

Good for You, YOU need that!

Of course, it didn't affect him like it effected you...it's the selfishness...the entitlement!

Watch for the head games...Sometimes just because you love someone doesn't mean that they are healthy for YOU!

Have a great time! Drink one for me...on meds, can't this weekend! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
