WTHECK? I just got a phone call (5 am) from the school-

[Mother Of Four]

Saying that due to WEATHER, there will be a two hour delay.

So, thinking I'll poke my head outside and see a ton of white stuff all over the ground I run to the door.

I heave it open with a smile....
To be greeted with crickets and a brown grass yard.


Not a flake to be seen.

So here I sit, waiting for coffee. In my jammies....grumpy but slept enough to be awake...
Wondering where some peoples heads are.

What are YOU doing at 5 am? Hrmmm?

:hi:

1. Divorce insomnia.

Agonizing over being lied to, betrayed, abandoned for someone with great wealth, and having my kids taken away because I worked hours too long to care for them on my own.

Trying to get this agony from cycling in my head as it has for the past few months. Coming to terms with the realization that the person I've been married to was a lying, cheating, shallow child I'd forgiven far too many times.

Trying to clear my head enough to get back to a brilliant writing project I'm working on so that I can lift myself back up and wait for the day I have to tell my ex; "I'm sorry how things worked out with your fling, but no... you are not welcome back."

Thank you for sharing your pleasant experience, it was refreshing to picture it for myself.

I'll see things that way again, I hope in a few months after everything is worked out.

4. ...

:hug: I sent you a pm

[jobycom]

7. Damn.

Sympathies.

[amitten]

8. I'm sorry.

I hope you understand it is not your fault. Some people just never grow up inside.

[The Doctor.]

9. Well, of course there was more

I could have done, but she never said anything. No, whenever she had a need or a grievance, she'd tell everyone, all her friends and family about it instead of me. Naturally, since she was looking for sympathy rather than solutions, a trap that many, many immature women fall into, she would only impart the details to elicit sympathy, and leave out the bits that didn't reflect well on her.

To all her friends and family; "He wouldn't let me leave! He tried to keep me in the house!"

Their response; "Oh, that monster! The brute! You've put up with so much!"

The part she left out; She was drunk and trying to drive away with the kids in the car because a door blew shut and she thought it was me.
:wtf:


I'd tell her sternly; "You can't do that in a marriage... you're destroying us because you don't want to face the truth and deal with the real issues."

Her response (to all her friends and family); "He always gets upset and yells at me!"



She'd act like a little girl instead of an adult.
I'd tell her she was acting like a little girl instead of an adult.
Instead of being an adult and talking it out, she'd act like a little girl and go cry to her mom and dad about how awful I was.

So, no... as I was the one trying to preserve the marriage, and she was the one going around having her negative emotions and refusal to seek solutions validated... I really don't feel in the least bit at fault.

I swear to God, no more little girls pretending to be women are going to fool me into thinking they have potential to become actual adults.

Thanks so much though. At this rate, I'll be over it all by Tuesday.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. what happens on Tuesday?

:shrug:

[The Doctor.]

11. I'll be over it.

Almost am now... just shaking off the residue.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

12. How long has it been? --

Sorry, I know you were being flip but, I got curious.

[The Doctor.]

13. August 31, 08.

Didn't find out she'd previously hooked up with her multi-millionaire until a few weeks later when I asked where she got the brand new Cadillac. From there it was just one more ugly revelation after the next.

But, like I said... despite the years wasted trying to bring this girl to her potential, what I've lost is merely an adult dependent.

2. You MUST live in NC

that is how things work here, it seems

At least in Asheville, we have snow to validate our cancellation today

[Mother Of Four]

3. DING DING DING

Yes...wonderful NC. I'm a transplant from AK.

Well, Got up...checked...phone rang...


School is closed and we have two inches. Guess the weatherman was right after all.

[mwooldri]

5. Guess you're not in Guilford County.

School got closed yesterday...

School delayed 2 hours today.

Weird thing: next door in Forsyth... it was the reverse. THough WS/Forsyth made the call at 11pm Tuesday to close Wednesday, instead of at 5:45am like Guilford did on Tuesday.

And yep I got them calls too. Not like I can't watch TV or go online or call myself.

Mark.
