OK frank, Good day for you and your D. You went to the reunion, thats getting out with others and you need that for yourself!
You got the hamster and cage for your D and she is happy. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
Considering the circumstances, I think it was a well spent day for your both. I do understand that you feel depressed, that is to be expected. Your life now is in turmoil and just taking one day at a time is what you need to do.
Tomorrow is Sunday. Based on your D's attendance at Bible camp, I will assume that you go to church. Why don't you go to church with your D, have lunch out on the way home and then come home and let her enjoy the hamster.
Spend some time outside together, maybe go to a park.
Frank, I know that you have some big issues to deal with this week, but I want you to know that I will be thinking of you and praying for peace in your life. Ladysing

Frank, I am sorry you feel depressed today. You have every right to feel down, your family has been torn apart!
Just know that this situation is far from hopeless. You have taken the appropriate steps to protect your D and once the custody hearing is concluded we can help you write her a Plan B letter. Plan B will either yank her off that fence or help you detach from her. Either way, it will give you some peace of mind.
I think that taking a stand for yourself will give your W some new respect for you. Women don't like men they can run over. And your actions this week have shown her that you are not a man that can be played. Women respect and admire that, Frank.
So, don't give up hope, Frank. This is far from over and we will be here to give you support.

Frank, I am not sure why she isn't calling, but I wouldn't suggest calling over there. Let her call you, otherwise it will look like you are chasing her.
How much older than her are you?

I think that this is the reason WW did what she did...........I think she is living out her teenage years she missed.....Believe me she was not innocent..........

frankd - I think you need to just put WW on the back burner for now and try to have a nice life for you. These things are very depressing. Are you making your home a wonderful place for you and your family?
Are you getting out and doing things? It is necessary to take care of yourself, as you are the only sane one.

They are just like an addict when they are going through this. So don't expect anything good out of her.
I have been going through this for 16 months. Now I regret that I wasted so much time on trying to figure WH out. I wish I had just moved on earlier and made changes for me.
I hope you are getting out and having a life. You deserve it.

I know you miss her Frank, but you need to pull yourself up by the bootstraps, so to speak. You are on a rollercoaster...it's just a bad day...You'll be ok.
You have totally turned things around this month with the custody hearing. You have made a lot of progress. You need to be the strong one. WW cannot be strong right now, she's been foggified by aliens <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> <small>[ July 18, 2004, 02:28 PM: Message edited by: What AmIDoing? ]</small>
