Wowie! It's been a long time...
Thought I'd drop in and say hello; I'm amazed at all the old-timers still around regularly...you guys have far more strength than I ever did!
<img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> Perhaps I've felt that my marriage ending in divorce somehow made me "less qualified" to help others in the MB way...
but be that as it may, I wanted to wish everyone Merry Christmas & Happy Hannukah (or Happy Holidays for political correctness...) and let you all know I am doing well, I have started a new relationship with a wonderful woman, and we're doing very well (Those lessons learned here sure make a difference!) even though it took me over 1 1/2 years since my divorce (celibacy s_cks! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> ).
My kids are all doing great, J just graduated from UT and S&J are in an exchange program overseas as their first year of college.
Sadly, my dear EXW is still involved with the OM who will still be in prison for a few more years, so I cannot say for sure we are ALL doing well.
In any case, all my love and blessings to all the old-timers who helped me so, and a message of encouragement to all who are going through these difficult times, with the message that life does go on, it does get better, and then it gets really good again!
All my love,
SC

Hey Spacecase,
Thanks for checking in !!

It's right about three years ago you started posting (If my memory serves me correctly)

I am glad you and the kids are doing well. It's so sad your W never came out of it. I can't imagine what it is that keeps her hooked like she is. I am afraid it will take him getting out for her to finally get it, and I am fearful for her.

I think your advice was valueable, don't ever think you didn't help people.

What you doi'n now for work? I thought you were going to buy compq, how come you let HP take it away from you?

SS,

Welcome back guy. I´m glad that you and your kids are doing great. This place needs people like you who can show others that no matter what happens to the marriage, that there is still life after it ends and sometimes a much better one than the old one left behind. Good to see you again and please think about what I said.

All the best to you and yours.

Hey Ms O! Glad to hear you're doing well! I miss the bay Area as well!

LB...oops, can't call you that, can I? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> Thanks for dropping in!

SS; Shucks, another disappointment SC's going to have to live with, missing out on buying Compaq! LOL!!! I've been working in the shipping business of late, nothing very glamorous or cachet, but the IT field just got too hammered, I guess! Go Cougars!!!

TMCM; thanks for the invite, I have to find the time to get back in here...and I will! I do lurk on occasion.

SC,

Your ears must have been burning. 2L and I were talking about you the other night when we got together. It is good to hear you are doing well, and that the kids are as well. Sorry to hear about exW but those are her choices.

I do hope you drop by from time to time more help is always needed. I hope the holidays are great for you and your family.

God Bless,

JL

SC,

I do think it's important for someone in your position to post here....

Reason being - you "earned" your divorce. No one could have done any more than you did to save your marriage.

You had the guts to pull the plug on it instead of wallowing indefinitely.

You've moved on with your life and have a new wonderful woman to share with!!

Edited to add: You continue to model healthy relationship behavior for your grown children!

Dear SC:

Happy Holidays to you, too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I do not think that you are in any way "less qualified" to help out here...I still remember your well-meant advice and caring ways... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> So, roll up the sleeves <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Things at IP's house are good...nowadays 2 1/2 years after d-day...I just don't have enough time to post here more often (still working on the Nobel Prize <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> ).

It was great to hear from you...

Hey Spacecase,

Let me join the chorus that sings "Hi!" and "why don't you stay awhile"! It's good to hear that the kids and you are doing good. Can't wait for your wife's boyfriend to get parole---talk about a reality check!

Spacecase,

I just want you to know I went to the link you had posted on another thread re. forgivenss, and I just love that place.

I need to go to that first picture, the one with the hammock, and then I really need to go to that meadow with all the lupines! LOL

It's been about 20 below here and the snow just keeps coming, so you can imagine what those pictures do to me.

I will take the time to read through the various articles after Christmas. I'm already a student of ACIM and know I will learn much at that site. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Thank you Spacecase
