thank you so much for your rewrite of my letter - no, you were not "out of line". I truly appreciate your wise words and insight. I felt such a need to say something to my H but feared it would destroy all we've worked so hard for. (one of the ironies of this open and honest communication concept) I am going to rewrite a letter to him and use many of the thoughts from your draft - it was so much more respectful and non blaming than my attempt when I was feeling so hurt and frustrated I couldn't see straight.<BR>I posted this thank you as a new thread because I wanted to be sure you saw it and know how much I appreciate your taking the time to help me.

I don't believe this, I was just checking if there was anything new on your thread, and a little worried that you did not appreciate my creative writing.<P>Thank you for responding. I am happy to help!<P>------------------<BR>Faith, Hope, Love Remain,<BR>but the greatest of these is Love.<BR>1 Corinthians 13:13

Hey FHL -<P>Write something for me!!!!!!!<P>I don't like the 20 or so that I have written so far.........<P>Would ya? Would ya? Pretty Please!!!<P>Simone - Isn't she the best?<P>Hugs,<P>Sheba

My dear Sheba, I would rewrite anything for you. Please look at Simone's thread on page 2 to make sure you like my style.<P>I'm thinking your H needs 2X4 treatment more than words. He didn't like your anniversary words? I think I could take him on myself. Or maybe I should send my daughter's BBall team...they are tough!<P>He must have suffered a head injury. <P>------------------<BR>Faith, Hope, Love Remain,<BR>but the greatest of these is Love.<BR>1 Corinthians 13:13

FHL - <P>I'm laughing - just picturing a BB team ganging up on him.....I like it!!!!<P>No, I don't think he did like my message - he ignored me till last nite and that was only cuz I paged him about bill money for this morning.<P>He does not want to deal with anything about me or marriage.....doesn't want to talk with people who care or love him.<P>Only wants to deal with fun and being carefree!!!!<P>I'm a lucky girl!!!!!!<P>Hugs,<P>Sheba

Sheba,<P>These are 13 year olds, scraping, holding on, even if they are past winning...which they were tonight.<P>I wonder if I am raising my daughters to be tougher. To speak up, not take crap, but still be kind. I hope so. It's up to them to open their own doors, but up to me to make sure there are no doors sealed shut.<P>After the game I said to my one daughter in the younger team (10), "Honey did you really have to throw that girl across the floor like a frisbee?" She said, Mom, she was twisting my finger and it hurt and I had to get her off...I had no idea she would skid so far."<P>My oldest daughter, who has the poise and beauty of a ballerina, was like a street fighter in her game. I hope I am preparing them for life.<P>And can you see the headline? Rapid Bball team, avenging a loss, pummels cop for inappropriate behavior?<P>I kind of like it.<P>------------------<BR>Faith, Hope, Love Remain,<BR>but the greatest of these is Love.<BR>1 Corinthians 13:13

FHL -<P>LOL!!!!!!<P>I think that you are doing a wonderful job!!!<P>The motto : Take no sh@t but be kind and a lady while implementing the concept...comes to my mind!!! LOL!!<P>These are three very important messages to young girls.<P>Hugs,<P>Sheba<BR>
