Called WW last night 4 time to talk to DD and never heard from her. This is getting old.

Document it.

Did you hear back from your attorney yet?

~ Marsh

It is documented. I emailed her this morning and she said she was with her until late at her work and cell phone went dead and she would be sure she called tonight.

No my attorney hasn't called back. I have left 3 messages with secretaries. BUt no response yet.

pHB... don't fret about this calm. Capitalize on it by resting, regrouping and focusing on the task at hand.

I'm sorry we don't get back to you as soon as you'd like sometimes, but my job requirements are very demanding right now, and in the entertainment industry deadlines cannot be missed. We'll all try to stay with you in this fight, but you need to realize that there will be a lot of "boring" day to day living where just living in Plan A is all you can do. We cannot stress how slowly this can transpire, regardless of which way it goes. All we can do is cheer for you and throw you advice that we hope is helpful.

Right now you must stop fretting over the little "stuff" your WW does. She has a proven history now of doing stuff that's inappropriate, and that includes not calling your DD. You must reach a point that you expect everything she does to be inappropriate, and you remain uneffected by her actions. Your job is to take ACTION, not to react to all of her inappropriate actions.

Focus on getting that room painted for your DD, and I guarantee it will make your daughter happy, your WW will notice and wonder about it, and YOU will feel better than you have felt in 3 months! A positive, neutral, productive effort is the very best medicine there is!

Then, when you feel better about life in general, your "inner" self will begin to glow. Your WW will notice, and be attracted to that glow.

Slow, tedious committment to Plan A. Patience, like waiting on water to carve a hole in a rock. Be the whole package. Breathe and see the silver lining every day. In spite of everything, you have a loving DD who is totally dependent on ONE parent being sane and stable. YOU are that parent.

You are doing just fine. Just keep it up.

I called up there again and she has been in court for the past 2 days. I should hear from her today or Monday. It will be hard for me to drop her when she is the best around here.

Actually I am at the point of where I am ready to move on. Don't get me wrong here, I still Love her and ready to reconcile but I have just gotten tired of the things she is doing. She is the one who will have the regrets, not me. She will look back and think "what was I thinking".

I bought me some new colonge last night(issey mayaki) and plan on looking my best each time I am going to be around her and pretty much every time I walk out of my house. I am going today to get a hair cut and highlights or tipped as the young people say and I am going to knock her sock off tomorrow when I see her. Or should I say when she sees me.

I wish I was young. It will be hard for me over the next few months but I am ready I hope. 34 is not old but it definatly ain't young. Plus I don't like the idea of starting over. Hope I don't have to but never know.

Well I am off to the salon, gym and then home. talk at cha later

Sheesh!

I'm a few years older than you and still consider myself young.

Are you an only child? Only children are born believing they're old. LOL <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

LOL! Yeah, a little respect would be nice. I grew up with the Yes Sir, No Sir, Yes Ma'am, thank you and you are welcome.

The world could use a little more respect these days!
