Yes, I know you will get through it because I did. My WH's birthday was a week ago today, and I thought about that stupid %^&* all day. Well, I mean that I thought about my H all day, certainly not WH. I couldn't get DDs to make him a card, call him, nothing. They really see that WH is not the same person that their dad was. Either my children are extremely perceptive or WH has indeed changed that much in personality (maybe a bit of both).

Anyways - Scotty, you WILL persevere because you ROCK! dance2

Thanx AM. FWIW, the kids CAN tell that WH isn't dear daddy anymore. DS9 said yesterday that it was funny because only bad things have happened to WH since he left. HAHAHAHA My kids are GREAT. DS9 also said, "Mommy, how long ago was December?" I said, "4 months ago, WHY?" He said, "That's how long Daddy has been gone for." I said, "Yes on Sunday it will be 4 months since Daddy left. How do you feel about that? You know that you can tell Daddy about your feelings right? You should tell him."

I don't know if he will but he knows he can tell me. laugh

You just gave me an idea AnneMarie !
Let's see if it works for Scottyville.

Get a big empty pickle jar. (any jar, I just like the idea of a pickle jar)
Have a lot of coins on hand. (You determine the Canadian coin that will work for you).
Every time you have a thought (good/bad/indifferent) about WH .... you drop a coin into the WH pickle jar. (because he's in a pickle)
The end of the week, you spend the $$$ on some recreational activity for you and the boys. However far it gets you.
Half a pizza, whatever.

That way, these thoughts are not wasted, they are used for the greater good of all mankind and the entire planet will reap rewards. (maybe, I exaggerate a little)

She likes it !

Have the boys decorate the jar. (should be interesting)
Be sure you call it "Daddy's in a pickle jar" ....

They will not be able to resist sharing their beautious pickle jar with ..... other people.

Many people keep our coins as souvenirs when they leave.

We have toonies as well. They are also cute 2 dollar coins. Yes us Canadians are WEIRD. HAHAHAHA.

Now, I am not going to include the times when I am posting on here. I need this place to vent. But everything else is fair game. laugh

You do rock, Scotty! It sounds like you have had a few rough days; but you amaze me with your strength and ability to turn what you are feeling into a way for personal growth.
I keep trying to be as positive and upbeat as you have been.
And I know from reading your thread that you don't suck; but the situation we have been put into certainly does.
Now I am going to have to google loonies!

LOL! Loooooove the idea!!!!!!!!!!

Now, as to what your mom told OM about "she accepts the presents because they're from me," that was priceless. In some circles, it might even be considered a lovebuster. flirt

Yep, mom's A is not doing so well at the moment. dance2

Neither is WH's, but you're not supposed to think about that. You just did anyway because I said it, so go drop your loonie and move on.

I am dropping them today. No more since my last post. That's GREAT news for MEEEEE. I will be eating pickles with dinner so I can have an empty jar. I think I need to buy the loonies from the bank by the ROLL(25 each). HEHEHEHEHE

Funny thing is that when I looked on Sunday, I thought about how I told Atena not to do EXACTLY what I was doing. That's why I got so mad at myself. I knew I shouldn't but I did it anyways. crazy

NO Nooo

For that, you need a "spit jar".
