I didn't take offense to anything. When I do, you'll know it. I was just teasing you guys!

I may be young, but I can stand my ground if I need to.

and you can both wipe those silly smirks off your faces as well. This is not a laughing matter.

Jen I think I've already discussed who would win a KiwiJ/Myrta fight. I ain't going there again.

I know I'm young, but I'm almost 30 and like I said, we should be getting ready to start our family and if we get divorced, I might never get that chance. And I don't want to have kids with anyone but him. I didn't want kids period, until I met him.

stph15,

Honestly, you need to leave this type of thinking behind you. It is counterproducitve. Your goals of a family may still be realized, but deal with the here and now. Things do get better. When I was at your present timeline, I was not much good for anything. Just give yourself time.

OK Jen. I'll go stand in the corner now.

Stph - really didn't intend any offense. We are all equals here. Well except for Todd and Pio that is.

BigK, I don't mind you putting me down, but putting me in the same category with Pio, that is unforgiveable.

stph15 or 20 whatever it is (so much for the precision of numbers), listen to BigK. He is well versed in MB principle and has the ability to distill things to a couple of sentences that really hit home.

I would love to watch but honestly as sweet as Boricuas are, when their anger is aroused, look out! No foe can equal them.

I'm stph20 thank you, and I don't know what to think about anything anymore, so I'm thinking everything. I'm thinking about every good time we ever had, every bad time we ever had, all the dreams that we realized together, all the dreams yet to come. My emotions are all over the place right now and I don't know how to stop it. I'm impatient, I want Plan A to have worked already and for everything to be "normal" again. I don't know how you guys can do this for months or even years. I am not that strong.

True enough. I am clearly the loser of the group. Unfortunately I agree with ToddAC. Even he can't sink to my depths.

Thank you Pio.

You are very humane.

Barf!

Because you are very deserving, that's all.

stph20,

Do you know what you should do? Go to JFO and read the posts from members who just arrived here at MB. It will give you a different perspective.

While I am in no way completely healed, I have come a long ways since DD. Time is the ultimate healer but time alone doesn't do it. You need introspection and outside objectivity.

Don't assume that your dreams of a family are dead. Also, don't count on it. The hardest thing right now is to grab hold of yourself. The members in this thead have been at it longer than you, but trust me, we have all been where you are right now.
