T.O. city girl,

Can you please break this up into paragraphs for those of us with short attention spans and a desire for white space in what we read.

I'll share that I'm an engineer and technical trainer, so bullet points are what work best for me LOL

I can see there is a lot in your post, easy to get lost. Kinda like drinking from a firehose.

I'm not trying to be mean, instead I'm trying to ensure the good information is easily understood and absorbed.

Well I see you took TB advice and paragraphed your story, and what a story.

I read it and thought where are the women like this one, TORONTO. I'm the male counterpart with a somewhat similar story, maybe later.

You know history is a sad reminder of the stuff that really went bad, but what you've got to look at are the positive steps that are being taken to correct one's mistakes, and from the sounds of it not really much is getting done to improve the relationship, at least from his part.

You've got to slow down, get a life, there are a lot of great guys out there and you do have a lot to offer, try a change of scene, move to a small town, change your job. You're 38 yrs young and ready to live again.

T.O.

Yo uneed to slow down a bit. Lack of sleep will have some really negitive effects on your health. Combined with the stress of everything else you are setting yourself up for serious illness.

Give some thought to plan B

TOCG,

What about your kids?

I recommend that you get a copy of "The unexpected legacy of divorce" - which is about the effects of divorce on kids. Read it. Think about what you want for your children.

I know, you're too busy to read. But, your kids are worth the investment of time.

T.O.

Ive been where your at to a point. The best thing I did for me and my kids was slow down a little. Fishing trips, drives to Kentucky just to go caving. Im not saying just sit back and let the world go by, but take time to relax and enjoy life.
