Hi Jo, I see you posting on some threads again. How are you? We've missed you around here... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> Lots of new names here, but some of the same ole pain. Glad to see you back. You always offer such good, rational advice. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" /> E

Lora sort of caught me up on what you've been up to, but I still want to talk. We are masters at the game of phone-tag huh? Hope you post an update. Lots of people here care bunches about you.

Well, here's the POST AZ Allison was talking about. Allison posted to me on the D/D board and said someone was looking for me, so I promptly searched thru D/D. Doh! I'm sorry ELad .... but here I am now <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> Oh, wait .... maybe not. I have a meeting in 15 mins and need to prep, but I promise I'll come back. Love, Jo

Okay, I'm back.
Thanks for looking for me you guys! I feel loved. You're a dear one, Elad.
I haven't been here in some time, I haven't even really read here for some time either. I have missed you all, and I think of everyone here all the time.
One day I looked down at my Post count and it read:
Posts: 4000
It seems around that same time frame work started to demand much more of my time. I'm sure you all can understand with the economic slowdown and the electronic industry on it's ear. So I work ALOT <fantastic understatement>.
I have also been making mistakes in my new single life, ones that I have corrected but not without paying for them first. But I'm happy to say I am back on track and feel I'm again headed down the right road. Where it will lead ... who knows.
Being a BS (I so dislike that title, feels victim-ish), and experiencing on-going adultery in my marriage where children were born from OW(S) really did a number on me. I guess I was in denial of how badly this did change me, and what I use to believe in ... you know, my core beliefs.
I met with my mom for the first time in over 15 years about two weeks ago. My mom, and my dad for that matter, abandon me when I was a young teen. I've always made my own way since then, just determined to make good of my life in spite of my parents and lack of family connection (became a driven over-achiever to a fault).
So, you can probably imagine how having my H take off on me was one of my worse fears in life. I started to feel that if I love someone they will leave me. Sounds ridiculous, but I remember now that throughout my marriage I was always afraid of Steve leaving me, and he did ... TWICE even. Self-fullfilling prophecy? Possibly.
Anyway Lora has encouraged me to go back to counseling, and I am seriously considering it. Hoping I can unpack some of my steamer trunk of issues I've been carrying around.
As far as Steve (ex), well he and OW still haven't married. And according to Lana (ow), via the rumor mill, they were slated to wed at the end of the summer. I'm a bit curious why it hasn't happened because I KNOW Lana was determined to prove something in terms of winning, whatever the heck that means.
Anyway, again, thank you for asking about me Elad. And thank you all for remembering me too.
Love,
Jo

Hi Jo--- Good to hear from you...I wonder so often about some of the oldtimers (I kind of hate that word though I guess I am one) who just disappear...and it seemed like one day you were here and then the next you were gone. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> I missed your supportive & helpful posts...(not just to me but to so many others who received support and advice from you). I think if you look at many of those 4,000 posts you would find they were the gentle, supportive, friendly and helpful posts so many of us were used to seeing from you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" /> I, too, post less and less here, but I do lurk. Sometimes all the pain on this board just takes its toll after awhile--you know? I am glad to hear you are well (if overworked) and still are working on YOU...It's all a journey, Jo, and while there are missteps along the way it seems like you are following a path that is important and good for YOU! My WW and I remain separated and I am still unsure where all this will lead. I am doing my best to be my best for me...as you know, that can be an every day struggle but I still hang in there and take it a step at a time and a day at a time... You sound strong and healthy and I am so glad to see you stop by even if it is just occasionally. Take care and continue your path of healing and living... You are truly one of the dear ones here... E

Jo, Hey girl........ there U R!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Elad, you are such a dear. Thanks for finding our precious Jo. So over 4k in posts? Hm......gotcha beat deary.....doesn't mean anything though.....a lot of my posts last year were pretty sad..... except for all the stupid, crazy and down right silly antics of the WS & OW. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> You were always a hard working woman......why am I just not surprised you have been inundated??!?!?! Glad to hear you met with your parents. Hard to do as we get older but family is family. So we'll chat laters, ok?!?!? I posted to you on WAT's thread but haven't seen your response. Glad you posted here. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> Hugz, L.
