Where I'm at now...something positive

[Pinot's Mom]

...and you've both come so far! Did you take that suggestion to read the beginning of this thread and see how far that is?? I think that's a good idea...

((((hugs)))) to both...

My neighbor received some good advice from her doctor regarding her recovery from cancer treatments that applies equally in your cases too, I think. You may not be able to tell how much you've improved on a daily basis. You'll have good days and bad days. But if you look back over the time period of a week, you'll notice how far you've come. I eagerly look for any updates in this thread. I wish there was something I could do to help both of you get through this. If a big fuzzy slanket would help, I'd gladly send one to you! I think though that part of the process in situations like this is learning how to get through stuff on your own. Not without support from others, but accomplishing it for yourself. If that makes any sense at all. If not, just know many are thinking of you often!

I am sorry you guys had such a bad day, I was so happy to hear about your good ones. Please keep fighting through them, because there really is a light at the end of the tunnel. Your life improvement is JUST around the corner. KEEP it up, ladies!

and REMEMBER to SMILE:


I am sorry if I am hijacking this thread with Mikey pics. I hope they are making you feel even the slighest bit better and making that SMILE grow
If so, I GOT plenty more where that came from!

(((Hugs))) and hope tomorrow is a better day for you BOTH!

I second that. A slightly better day today, still very near tears, they're mostly of frustration today. But seeing Mikey's picture now made me smile so please don't stop them.

I came back to look at Mikey again for my daily dog fix!!! Thanks, that picture still makes me smile.

Spent an hour and a half with my counsellor this evening. OMG she is wonderful. I can't sleep because my body wants me to deal with what all has gone on. She will help me with that and eventually I will sleep again. Basically he has traumatized me and recovery is possible. She says I need to get angry and try to stay there for a while, it will help to get healthy.

I also made the trek to my divorce lawyers today, paid the fee, left her his paperwork, my list of what I want and a few other details. I have an appointment with her Monday.

Sounds like a good, productive day. All important steps toward a better future.
