I like your term of "my former life". A whole thread could be made off that. It really is a good way to look at it. It can seem like a form of reincarnation with all that one can learn from it. If one doesn't take a honest appraisal of how one's life was before divorce one can actually keep making the same mistakes. I can get stuck in the ex bashing and then guilt from doing that because I start bashing myself when I see the whole thing in a football replay type of way. Ex bashing really screws with my program because I have to look at it from the point of view of working my own program and not working hers. It causes me not to focus on the here and now. It is like taking an inventory of what I have now that is important. True, I have learned from the past but getting stuck in it is not good. If I did that I might as well go marry her a third time and the first two times didn't work. My mom and I had a good talk, yesterday. She still helps me to see the illogic of some of my hair schemed ideas. I am so fortunate to have her because she was widowed twice. She really does know what I am going through. She helps me to think something through to the end not just just what I want to see. I will be if sometimes she doesn't frustrate me as my ex did but I guess moms can get away with that. I got four sisters who think just like her. Then there is my favorite sister is just as screwy as I am. She gave me a hug before I left. I am blessed with a screwy sister.

I've always wanted to take up kick-boxing......now might be a good time to look seriously at getting started on that!! Hmmm...

Just give your kid's the things...
JMHO

JMO as well


stuff is just stuff.... the money you need will come to you without having to risk the strong relationship with your children......

Ahhh, Whispher, sorry it is such a cruddy place for you right now.

As most said, stuff is stuff. Just that, nothing more.

Have an idea to make some cash (nothing illegal or immoral). Post an ad on Craig's List for housecleaning, errand running, dog walking, babysitting or something of the sort. I know a girl that advertised house cleaning. Did a one week special price. Had more responses than she could handle. She cleared about $600 (CASH!) in a week.

Hope you are feeling better this morning. Hugs, M
