He fianlly did it, packed up the trialer and moved it. I thought I was so ready,but still found myself both crying and angry that he couldnt even give me a hug or say goodbye. And so tired of this long drawn out process.

I know releif is just around the corner, but not today.

Lora,
This is a brief note to let you know that someone cares. I pray that God will comfort your heart at this time of difficulty.

Lora,

I feel really bad for you. This must be most difficult, especially at Christmas time. This happened to me years ago.
You have friends that care here.
My prayers are with you.

There's just no way, even as prepared as you were, that it's not going to hurt. My H left 2 yrs ago at Xmas and it still hurts. I admire your positive attitude about the future. You're right, it will get better, but today, let yourself grieve as much as you need to.

We are praying for you now. Learn all you can here and get proactive to help with distracting you from this pain right now.

Let us know the situation again ok so we can help.

Do something nice for yourself. We will be here to support. I was feeling poopy last night so I went to workout. Then stopped by Starbucks to get a peppermint nonfat mocha. Awesome! Do the little stuff right now. You will feel strange and wierd but cling to doing WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW. You cannot CONTROL HIS ACTIONS BUT CAN CONTROL YOURS. Remember that ok.

Hugs my friend. We'll help all we can ok?

Hi everyone and thanks.

I went to a friends and watched a movie and drank wine last night. Watched a perfect murder and had just a little fantasy when the H gets shot in the end... although it was the wife having an affair. But the whole affair thing doesnt bother me as much any more. Now its just endings that hurt. Today I am cleaning the house and rearranging things.

I am looking forward to the new year. I just realized ite been 4 years since this all started... thats a long time. Time to move on and be happy.

Lora that's great! I am getting ready to help son w/imaginext set he got from santa. Just remember that the rollercoaster forces us to ride now and then. Good for you doing the wine/movie thing. That is sooo good for you.

I have the fantasy about my stbx and the movie double jeapordy. Where she is at the end wearing the killer evening gown and gets him. Exposes his little plots.

Just know we're here ok? All of this junk has been unfortunately in my life for three years now. That's too long for both of us. New year and new life. Cheers to you friend!

I know exactly what you are going through and I am trying to find the strength to go on everyday. WH moved out 2 weeks ago. The holidays have been horrible. I am not much help on the advice end, but feel for what you are going through.

Our ordeal only started 6 months ago, but I am not sure where we are going from here. He only wants a divorce and will not listen to anything else.

Good luck and I will be thinking of you.
