I completely understand the nature of the post... What are your fears? How about trying to look at the positive for a bit?

My hopes...

1. That my children grow up happy, healthy, and live well-adjusted, productive lives.

2. That I somehow, sometime, meet Mr. Wonderful with whom I will live my "happily ever after."

3. That Christ will come again soon so that we can begin our "happily ever after" with him ASAP!!! (but then, we should probably stick to discussing THIS life rather than the next for therapy's sake).

4. When I meet "Mr. Wonderful," I will be able to enter into a completely healthy, mutually beneficial life together.

5. That I can reach a sence of happiness now.

6. That I will be able to "give" all my problems to God so I can stop worrying about them.

7. Love, Joy, Peace, and Happiness. All wrapped up with a great big red bow... Gift given from God himself.

That a few years down the line, I will be able to look at my H and know he did the work he needed to do to recover our marriage.
That we have a truly happy and fulfilled marriage, with no room for outsiders.

I hope to spend more time with my children under a more fair custody arrangement.

I hope that the drama with my ex ends and we can get along someday.

I hope the kids grow up to be stable adults and don't emulate their parents in terms of marital skills.

I hope to meet a woman who will be a good example to the kids and will treat them well.

I hope the kids learn Spanish.

I hope they stay true to their religion.

I hope I can truly forgive.

Me, too!

What a great idea for a thread lamby! You sound like you are doing pretty good. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My hopes for the future (looking towards our move this spring):

That my daughter continues to do as well as she is doing now. And that she can consider it home, when she comes down for the summers, even though it will be all new for all three of us...she won't be going to school there so summers will be kind of a challenge for her, leaving her school friends and activities behind.

That I find a job I love.

That GB does very well in business and he loves what he ends up doing as well.

That we make good friends down there.

1. That we continue on this new path together, healing, growing, learning and experiencing our world together.
2. That my children continue to grow into responsible, moral people with compassion in their hearts.
3. That we continue to turn to each other when the dark clouds gather and enjoy the snuggle under the blankets through the thunderstorm.

My hopes & dreams for the future.

That my M really does recover.

That WH sees that a good M requires work from both of us & makes the effort.

That my kids don't make the same mistakes I did in M.

That WH looks at me one day & says with all sincerity "I love you."

That if it doesn't work out with WH, I find someone who wants to be happy with me & that I want to be happy with.

That my kids find a better relationship with their dad no matter how things turn out.

That I spend the dash in between Birth & Death living a good life & that people will remember I lived life to its fullest every day.
