Calling on all divorced women for advice

Things are really crazy in my life right now. After 15 years of marriage, two small children and years of living with a controlling husband (and husband's family) I have stepped out of my safe, comfortable, known, unhappy life and asked him to leave. I've never been this far before and I am scared.... Sign in to see full entry.

On the way out

I am not planning on staying any longer. Funny how that can be a real eye opener for the other party, huh? But, hey, I have been through these temporary moments of eye openers and they do not last past the "Ah ha, now I got her back where I want her," moments. I am on my way back to me. Okay, I know...

Why Stay

I stay, but I wonder why. I don't love him. He doesn't love me. We say we do; it's what people do. I stay for the kids. He stays cause he couldn't handle the failure. I am just not happy... but is there happiness in splitting up a family, fighting over kids, bringing new people into the kids lives,... Sign in to see full entry.

Hanging the Christmas lights might be ruining your marriage if . . .

After hanging the lights, you and your spouse decide to separate for awhile and end up fighting over who gets the lights; For entertainment, the town shows up with lawn chairs, warm blankets and hot cocoa (you notice some out-of-towners in the crowd this year); You start crying while watching...

sorry I have been missing . . .

I have been so busy doing, I don't know what. Enrollment is low at my school and we are in a crunch - anyone have some good recruitment tips? I think we managed to get five new students this week - that is good, but it isn't the hundred my boss wants. Anyway, both boys are in a Christmas program at... Sign in to see full entry.

another day at the office . . .

If you don't mind, I need to get some negativity out. Why is it that people who sit on their asses and don't do their jobs, get away with it? And why is that people who do their jobs, get to do the jobs of the asses sitting on their asses who don't get their job done? Where is the justice in being a... Sign in to see full entry.

Going home

Well, it is that time of year to hit the road and spend Thanksgiving with my family. I haven't seen a lot of my family over the last few months because we have have been so preoccupied with the flood and all. So I am especially excited to get away and to see everyone. I have also decided to shop for... Sign in to see full entry.

He punishes me today.

He does it with silence. I don't know why. Yeah, I guess I do. I just don't fit the mold of whom he thought I would be. I guess living with me doesn't give him the rush he got when he dated me. Go figure. "This is life." I tell him. "This is the good, the bad, the ugly all wrapped up together. We... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Day

An old man sits in a lonely place, crying out for someone to hold him, but he's been forgotten, and no one ever told him. Somewhere a baby cries, cold and hungry, but a mother's soul has died, so the child grows up starved and angry. I've heard my grandmother speak, of another day, when the strong...
