And how are you two on this wonderful Thursday?

I am doing much better after my counselling session last evening. Thank you for asking! I am getting my nails done tonight and am really looking forward to that. There should be nothing going on today with regard to him so it looks to be a really good day.

Rose, how are you my dear?

Mikey, still love that last picture, it makes me smile every time!

Gayle & Rose I have just been reading through this for the first time and may I say I think you are both incredible women and, though you may not think so, are really doing so well on that road to fuller and much better life.

I will be keeping you both in my prayers.
Love and

Back for my morning Mikey fix!!

Got bad news last night, my mom's sister's cancer has returned and she has been given 2-6 months to live.

When it rains it pours. Hello, angels above, I'm getting tired of being WET!!! Need some help here, please!! Won't someone pay attention??

I looked back in my posts and discovered that the California incident was in 2008!!!! From that I have been able to piece together what has gone on since them. I was sure it was longer ago than that.

Feeling really tired, kind of hungry and a yet bit stronger today than yesterday.

My workbook came today. It is called: Healing the Trauma of Domestic Violence, a workbook for women.

In the first few pages it is bang on.

Hopefully working thru this will help me heal.

Still loving the Mikey photo!

They are paying attention, dear lady. They have opened your eyes and your heart to your predicament. They have brought you back to life. And sometimes life hurts very, very much. But then you heal and you are stronger, wiser and even more beautiful than ever before.

Prayers for your aunt, Gayle. Did she smoke also?

Even if she did, it just sucks and is sad! HUGS

Hope you are doing well, Rose!

Well,

I went to read the settlement document over today. Didn't make it very far before bursting into tears.


We, Rosemary Lupo Rottmayer and Christopher Allen Rottmayer, being sworn, certify that the following statements are true:

1. We were married to each other on February 22, 1998.
2. Because of irreconcilable differences in our marriage (no chance of staying together), we have made this agreement to settle once and for all what we owe to each other and what we can expect to receive from each other.

I am SO sad.

I am still staggered by the swiftness and ease with which he discarded me.

I am getting to the point, with friends I've spoken with, are telling me to: not to be angry, or hateful. Not to let it ruin my life. I have to go out and try new things (I have crippling introversion)
None of that is appealing right now.
The reality is that no one can know how empty my life feels right now.

Gayle I'm happy there is a book out there that addresses what you've gone through. I cannot IMAGINE. And your therapy session sounds hopeful too.
Thinking of you.

This part is for you Richard-
A positive step. Trying to get tough....

With the Holidays rapidly approaching, and me not wanting to celebrate nor have them pass as any ordinary day. I am going to volunteer to feed the needy somewhere. At the very least, I can be helpful to someone.

Rose and Gayle - BINGO!! So well said!!

[Queen of Poop]

Rose, I am so sorry that you feel discarded. Remember, it is his loss. A woman like that will never remain with him for long and then he will be the lost and lonely party. By then you will have moved on and made a brand new life for yourself. You are strong, you just need to put your mind to it and you can do anything. I think visiting the elderly is an awesome idea for your Thanksgiving holiday. You're welcome to come visit me if you need to get away completely. No snow here yet. I too worry about being alone as I age. But then I look at the teenagers out there these days and figure I'm better off without one of those. They just don't have the same sense of responsibility we have so likely would just stick me in a home and forget about me. Worst case you and I can figure a way to take care of each other as we get old. But sorry, I'm not changing your diaper!!!! Hope that gave you a giggle.
