I'm with you Foxy, I have tough time rememebering lotsa stuff. It's really annoying, and yet another reason to stay the heck away from the Z. He WILL just cause me more pain and disappointment as he is now. Yeeeucchh! No thanks.
yeah, um, I have to admit, the rodeo incident kinda made me laugh then, too. What a schmo your WxH was (IS).
I don't remember what I had to eat on Dday. Then I didn't eat anything for a while, so I didn't have to remember what I didn't eat, so I got that going for me, which is nice...

I tried to eat for DDs sake.......threw it all back up, though.
I still get very frustrated with this. I can't spell or write like I use to. Still mix words that are similar sounding but don't mean the same. Write/right, there/their.......
I'm really not as dumb as my postings look...... Sometimes I'll read over my post after I posted it and I'm
I am with you on that one. Eating was not an activity I recall engaging in for quite a while.
I don't recall a lot from those times either,,,that is until someone jogs my memory. Seems I actually DID function during that time, but the details are a bit fuzzy at times!
I do see BC lurking around here from time to time, but he has been eerily quiet,,,,,,,,,,,,. I've seen Rin on FB. She seems to be doing very well and in what seems to be a good relationship.
The whole 'getting a life' thing is once again being elusive for me. Thought I had it going on,, but now not so much! That's ok.
And for all of those that think that we would want to talk to, let alone re-marry our WS !

You are probably going to clobber me big time for saying this, but my first thought when you had to move back was that the stars were lining up for you and the Z to end up back together.
And now you tell me that he is working in the same place?
Yikes.

12/25/06 - Dday - WH promised NC. Plan A in effect. Thought we were in recovery.
6-3-07 - Dday#2 Found out NC never took place and A never ended. Found MB NC promised again, but WH would not write NC letter.
9/07 - Dday #3. Still lying and sneaking around. Plan B implemented WH wants nothing to do with me
The Z doesn't have what it takes to be my man now. He has not changed at all from his ways. Apparently, he treats his new girlfriend just as he treated me...like wallpaper and a convenient companion. I am not interested in more of the same and the thought of being with him is a nightmare that I would want to claw my way out of until I wore my fingers down to the bone and bled out.
I have seen what it can be like to be with someone who faces problems and issues head on, and even that little taste has me hungering for much more of the same.
No thanks.

Oh man,I so want to be where you are. I am actually closer than ever before, believe it or not. The thought of recovery with him has now become slightly revolting. Yeah, I think I might be closer than even I thought. WooHooooooo

Selective memory, eh, chrisner. I gotta try that.
Different means...same end.
In my case, I DON'T want to forget, to make DAM* sure I don't let it happen again!
The settlement is finished. I was able to clear out my debt, which was pretty significant, and am now looking to invest part of it for DS's education. A little more research is required, since I'm skeptical about going into the 529 plan. It's only 10 years until DS gets to college age, so I don't think I will be able to pay his way to Ivy League, but the money will help him in ways that I never had. That's my goal.
DS has had lots of problems in his before/aftercare program at school with one boy, who picks on him/at him often. It got to the point that I told the kid directly to keep his hands off of DS. Seemed his parents weren't willing to take that leap. Things have been better since, and I gave the operator instructiont that I woul dbe more than happy to talk directly with the boy's parents if they have a problem with my talking to their son.
I am doing well. I haven�t been exercising as much lately because my back went out over a month ago, and I have been nursing it ever since. It�s pretty bad this time, but I believe it is muscular, not structural. It can be discouraging when I sit up out of bed and it hurts. Sometimes just getting in and out of the car causes me to feel a pinch, and then I�m super cautious. I can�t just go running around with DS, which I love to do. I�ve been trying to help him out in baseball this season, but it�s been hit or miss either due to craptastic weather or my back. If I say no to helping him, he always asks �Is it your back?� Mommy's falling apart
otherwise, I am doing really well.

If the kid gives you trouble again Triple Dog Dare him next winter.

I have been playing basketball with the girls at open gym. On the second night I thought I was going to die. I had to defend my 6'-7" 230 lb assistant coach. He stuffed a layup I tried so hard I went out the back gym doors in a heap.
