When does one give up hope?
When there is none, is that when?
I wish my family were back together, it is not.
I have been divorced for 8 months, away from her for 15 months.
I only see her when she drops the kids off or picks them up.
I can't call her, I only talk to her when she calls me, then she does most of the talking.
When do I give up hope?
Her boyfriend lives with her and my kids, he has for 6 months or so I guess.
Get this they even work together, surprise.
We have 2 kids together, it just seems so unnatural to be parents together of them.
One thing she said that was really bothersome was, "Our kids will never have their parents together" that was hard to hear.
When do I give up hope?
She was so quick to dismantle any reminder of our 17 year marriage and to start a new life with this other man, she started building while she was tearing down, building new walls, pushing any chance of us being a family into her starting a new one.
Her new life must be great for her, but what about the rest of us?
My kids hurt when they have to leave me, and I am sure they hurt when they have to leave her.
I know I hurt when my kids leave me, does she not hurt when they leave her.
Of course I pretty much hurt all the time.
When does one give up hope?
If there is no hope to begin with, I guess you don't have anything to give up!

Rustfirefly - I don't know if one ever truly gives up hope about what they have lost - and maybe wanting it back... But I think what we need to do is learn to live again - move on to the future... OK this is what ticks me off -
He left me and I am am alone - but why do they get to have each other??
Why is it so hard for me to even think about dating - when he was basically dating while we were married???
Things like that are hard... But you have to try and be happy - that is what everyone tells me - Do we think they should win??Should they be happy and us the BS not.. I don't think so... As hard as it is - if you read around here you will see that there is life after divorce... Some say it is even better sometimes... I can totally feel your pain and know exactly where you are coming from - But in the end I truly hope and I truly believe that we as the BS are going to end up being happier in the end... Our lives with be better... Stay strong...
