Be prepared to get somewhat discouraged with hubby's craziness. Hope you are taking great care of your needs and doing special things for yourself.

I am trying very hard to take good care of myself. About a year ago, I finally lost the last bit of my baby weight, so I am enjoying my new hobby of buying all new clothes. LOL!

Hey Pep- NOT nice I LOVE DrPEPPER.

Oh RID- I LOVE reading your thread. Your humour(yes I know I spelled it with a "U" it is ENGLISH stickout ) in your sitch is so refreshing. That was the first signs to me that I was coming out of this horrible thing, because I got my humour back. It's a sign of great strength that you have kept it all along. laugh

You are MARVELOUS. laugh

I never realized that it tasted like prune juice. Either the prune juice we get up here doesn't taste like yours or our DrPepper tastes different.

I didn't know that there was a whole thing about the taste of DrPepper. Thanx for the link. I learn so much from you Cliff Claven. I will put that in my vault of useless info that I amaze my friends with. They tell me I am a well of USELESS information. laugh

LOL Lexxxy, me too!!!!!!!!!

When my ex left, I did my bedroom all in eggplant - paint, curtains, spread, pillows, lamps and hanging mosquito net thingy. It looked like a prostitute lived there. Luckily I got through that phase.

Aw, thanks. I needed to hear that. It's a nice change from hearing that I am quite possibly the most evil woman alive.

I enjoy being told I am evil these days because it is a good kind of evil. My new nickname is "EVIL GENIUS" although it is through the things that Pep, Neak, Not and others have suggested for me to do. So join the ranks of EVIL, we have room and you are FUNNY.

I am starting to think that Evil is way better company than Wayward. LOL!

The Waywards are just way too stressful, man. They harsh my groove.

This weekend was more of the same. I ignored mostly. Saw him for a little on Sunday. He swung wildly back and forth- between telling me how much he loves me, and telling me he can't possibly believe that I would love him, because if I loved him, I wouldn't have calculated to "ruin his life" the way I did.

He said he hurt me unintentionally, so it's better than how I hurt him.

Whatever. Talk to the hand.

He also says he won't take his meds. I said that's his choice.

I copied a bunch of the pertinent text messages he's sent about hurting himself and his depression, and sent them to his doctor.

And then I copied his parents.

They can care for him. I am not the right person. He is too angry at me to be evern 10% reasonable, and I need to focus on my kids, and on myself.

I know he sees my pain as far lesser than his, but I actually am the victim here. Hard to believe, but it is true.

We sure are better company. laugh

Wayturds really are a downer.

So, what fun things did you do with the kiddies this weekend? I took the boys to see "How to train a dragon" on Saturday. It was a cute little movie. The main character's name is Hiccup.
