I went to bed one night loving my husband, and woke up the next morning not loving him.

That was how I got with my first husband.

I still feel nothing for him - which is sad since he is the father of my oldest son.


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

Exactly what happened with x-lil. I woke up, looked at him and thought "I don't love you, I don't even like you"

I left him a week later.

T2L, I went in hiding from the board for about two weeks during tst's affair. I thought we were on the brink of recovery, and when I was faced with the fact that we weren't, I just stayed away from here because I hurt so much.

It was a different situation than yours, but there were some similarities.

I had some incredible people posting to me who often told me what I didn't want to hear or what hurt so much to hear, but they were ON MY SIDE. You have some incredible people here on your side, too.


Will you read here and the page after and come back and post to me what, if anything, hits home for you?

There is nothing more I want for you than your life to be restored.

Just so you know...

I love you enough to go back on my dark, ugly thread, to some of the darkest, ugliest pages to get that link for you. I almost got snared in there. cry

{{{{{{{{{2TL}}}}}}}

I'm hoping something in there will hit home for you and we can talk more about it.

Ok I am just popping in really quick. I promise after Lil and Flick leave I will come back on. They arrive tomorrow and I am soooo excited!

Then on Friday Hope gets here and the Lil Mrs. SIHW will be making her way here on Saturday for girl day.

Stayed busy during the weekend. Went to some friends house on Saturday and had a really great time.

SMB I will read that link in a few days, as we have lots planned for our lil New Zealanders!!! Thank you for taking the time to post it. I did get your email to and I am in processing mode right now and have a bad habit of blurting without processing and then I am sorry later.

Ok gotta go for now I am exhausted, stayed up way to late last night with friends, got up way to early for church and lost that darn hour with the time change!

Thanks for all the care and concern and support. I have a lot of thoughts, but need to process before I can throw them all out.

SIHW, I am bringing a pillow to strap onto my backside for the wild ride on the "raging bull".

Can't wait for the change of scenery! First time in a LONG time that D15 is excited and sounds like her old self.

Sorry that we missed Lil dog and Flick, we are the second wave of vacationers!

T2L will be sooo busy we will be saying "what WS", Who??? dance2
