whats wrong with me?????? on 2008-05-25 11:19:26 |

Hi Cheb! You are normal and missing your family! How could that be anything but normal! Your baby is a part of you and always will be, entirely NOT ungrateful. Just because the umbilical cord has been cut, it doesn't mean that it's "cut", smile. it never is. Get rest, pray that Stan goes home with you, and thank God that he is here and doing well. Ten minutes away can seem like 100 miles away, but it's not really. You will be fine. I had two Caesarians, not fun, but this too shall pass.
Much love XXX
Ellie

I can't sew to save my life, but! I enjoyed reading this adaptation. You always find just the right thing to say. I would say that even though my kids have moved away, I'm still involved in their lives. It's almost like I'm a planet with my little planets revolving around me. They're in my galaxy, but separate entities :-)
Nice post, Davis. God bless. XXX

I had no idea about the family issue, I'm so sorry. I truly wish Brian could love you as you deserve to be loved, I really do. I know you're hurting, but I also feel that you're doing the right thing. You deserve more and yes, being alone sucks. I pray it will be short-lived for you! XXX

what do you think? on 2008-05-15 18:52:21 |

Amazing post, Cheb. Well, you know what I think about working with disadvantaged youth. It's SO worth it, but of course, it is tiring mentally and physically.
You're right, poverty plays a major part in crime, but it's interesting to note that the poor in other countries don't always resort to crime. They are proud of their meager possessions and themselves. In the US and I believe in most European countries, kids see the designer this and that and kill for them. In poor countries, most kids never see that stuff and therefore, never miss it. Just my thoughts on this :-) good for you for pursuing this very important work, Cheb. XXX

Of course, we can't know the motivation behind his comment, but Miss Eight sure has a good head on her shoulders. Either way, she showed some smarts and she IS figuring it out...watch out, FOTY...

I didn't lend money, but did buy airline tickets and paid for vacations for my sister when she didn't have a dime and I did. I do not loan money because I don't have any! lol!
You are a kind soul and I do hope that this yucky couple finds it in their hearts to pay you back. It's unbelievable that they don't have a conscience about this...but such is life.

Great stories pita and shemelts! I love kid stories. I was bathing my daughter when she was about three or four one night and we were late to watch one of her favorite movies before bedtime, but she was playing around and not soaping up. I told her, "Honey, shake a leg or we won't be able to watch that movie!" She immediately stood up and shook her leg! lol! I laughed so hard and hugged her even harder :-)

This is when we need our strongest girlfriends to offer support, encouragement and love. You did the right thing, prelude and yes, it's damn sad. BUT, you deserve to be loved in every way possible. Try to keep busy and just keep thinking, "I'm making room for the right man by getting rid of the wrong man." Your post showed incredible insight and honesty. You will not be sorry for praying, that was the right thing to do. Be strong, okay? Much love XXX

Hi Meri! How we get over people and bad situations (bad for us) is just you have done. We want the exact opposite, doesn't usually work. then we remember the good traits, so we search for commonalities but don't find the zazazing, then we find a good balance somewhere alone the like with someone who just is the right fit. I'm no expert and have done just that...I agree with roe, no sense in telling Brian, that just reopens the old wound. Do it alone is my advice. Go backwards, but don't include him in the thought process. Good luck, Meri. You're a smart girl and know you will be happy. XXX

I agree that what's missing is respect and I would add compassion for those less fortunate than ourselves.
But, I also work with some bad-ass kids who have been kicked out of every public school system. Many of them suffer from mental illness, drug abuse, have suffered sexual abuse and neglect. Most of their parents also suffer from the exact types of illnesses and addictions and most are or have been in jail. It's not always what kids watch on TV or what they listen to that makes them "bad" kids, it's their living situations and circumstances, but I do understand what you're saying, Hollis.

Easy, forgive yourself and go on. We all have our moments of frustration and your kids know you love them. Thank God, they love unconditionally. I've certainly acted less than honorably during my divorce, but I had to let it out! I'd never been in that position before. We just don't know how we will act in any given new situation. Forgive yourself, your kids have. XXX

Wow, I'm back after almost a week and FOTY STILL doesn't get it! Jeez!! I say make your plans for the kids and tell him that when he can make it, show up. You are still acting as the facilitator between his kids and himself. Anyone who chooses golf over his kids doesn't deserve any more help! Be strong! XXX

Needing to let go on 2008-05-01 16:59:16 |

Hey, Sweetie. There are thousands of good guys out there who ARE emotionally available and WILL be emotionally available to YOU. Yes, he's a good guy, but he's not there for you. You should not have to beg for love, a cuddle or comfort! Never. Let me repeat, never wait for this man or any man to change. He is who he is and you are who you are. Leaving him doesn't make him bad, it just makes him the wrong guy for you.
If you are involved with him, you are not allowing the right man to enter. I say leave him. It's scary, but don't waste your time as I did for 25 years with a man similar to yours. Yes, I have three wonderful children from this marriage and would marry again for them to be in my life, but I wish I'd left when they were young.
It will feel like you are dying if you remain with him. Just my thoughts, prelude. I wish you the VERY best. XXX

Ghetto Girl on 2008-05-01 16:49:09 |
|
I never did hear what happened to the little punk who kicked Kaylie!? I used to go directly to the parents of the kid(s) involved and insisted in a mediation session. IF the parents were belligerant or rude, I'd then go to the school and speak to the teacher. I wouldn't let go until I felt sure that this wouldn't happen again. It usually worked and more than once, I heard: "don't mess with H, R, & M's Mom!"
We HAVE to protect our kids and get ghetto when needed! lol! Good luck, Mamacita. Hugs to Kaylie!

Yes, we all communicate and receive information differently, but if I'm correct, B has also gone back to the ex-girlfriend once. SO, to me that means that your feelings are unsettled for a good reason. He GAVE you reason to worry and wonder. On the other hand, he has now kissed your worries away and that's great. I am feeling better about him. Prelude, just try to be calm and enjoy the moments with him without too much thought to the past. I KNOW this is hard as I have a hard time with this, as well! XXX
