Long absence, just checking in

Hi everyone, I finally got the opportunity to get onto a computer so I thought I'd check in and update everyone on my status.


Lots of things have happened since I was last here...unfortunately, even in this economy, I couldn't hang on to my job and I have been out of work for three months now. I'm doing okay for money so far but the prospects, so far, have been few and far between. Not to mention that I am still in somewhat of a depression over the whole thing...nothing that I can't beat though!


My BF and I are still going strong...he still works out of town but he took a little break and spent most of the last three weeks with me, at my apartment. My roommate had gone on vacation so it was the perfect opportunity for us to spend time together and I could almost pretend that we were a real married couple LOL. I can hardly believe that our two year anniversary is coming up so soon!


On a different note, it is my granddaughter's first birthday in two weeks and apparently my ex is in town and doing his best to avoid me. He is going to have to suck it up because I am NOT going to miss her party just to soothe his ruffled feathers....like I just mentioned, it's been two years for goodness sakes!


I don't know when I'll be able to log on again but I wanted to say that you guys helped me so much when I first started down this path, I was seriously confused and out of control but you made me take deep breaths and just relax and let it be, I will never forget that.

Hi memory song,


Thank you so much for your reply...can you believe this is the first time I've been able to get online since then?


I took no offense at the song, I enjoyed your post very much. A lot of things changed for me since then...the rollercoaster reared it's ugly head for a while. Things are getting better again though, I am trying to make

Hello there!


Sorry I couldn't reply earlier, this is the first opportunity to get online since then!


I must confess to being a wee bit jealous reading your reply to me...I would so love to have a baby...and 1 year olds are so darned adorable! How lovely for you.


I hope things have resolved themselves on the court front. I am fortunate that my kids were grown and didn't have to go through that sort of thing, my heart goes out to you.


All of you guys helped me so much when I was first here...I couldn't believe how much pain I was in. I guess misery really does love company (please don't take offense) because it really helped that there were other people out there going through the same thing.


I kind of "fell of the wagon" so to speak...let my drinking get out of control and did some stupid drunk texting. I don't understand myself sometimes, we had just spent the most wonderful weekend together....when he left the job it was specifically to come and have a sleepover with me. I have to remind myself that he's not really mine all the time, you know? While he was here he took a call from his sist (which I could hear every word) and she was congratulating him on his anniversary...this was the day after I got my papers from ex-H lawyer for claim of divorce (or whatever the heck it was). I can't believe how much that hurt...and the stupid thing is, I would have been married longer than him if he hadn't interjected himself into my life, which actually has no bearing at all on the matter! Then, just to kick me when I'm down, that weekend he and his w and ds,

Hi cubbiesgrl,


You've probably seen my replies to the other fantastic ladies so I won't repeat myself!


I will say thank you for your interest in my story and your reply, I'm very glad there are still a few names that I recognize around here.


I really hope you're doing well, this place was never far from my mind all these months and I'm really happy that I can check in again, whenever I want!


Anyhow, I'm off to check on some of the posts...it's been such a long time.
