How do you get through the night?

Post Reply New Topic

Thank you very much. I am sure I will be asking you for advice.
This weekend has been good though. I bought the kids a puppy and we've kept busy like that. I have tons of housework to do, so that's going to keep me busy tomorrow. But he wants to see them tomorrow night. I'll lose it for sure tomorrow.

that sounds like it will be tough. do you have to spend much time around him or can you pass the kids over to him for him to take them out and see them elsewhere?

good luck. (((hugs)))

Hyperlexian,

Thanks dude! You are so sweet!

Hugs,
Leslie

You're welcome for the advice. And, I wholeheartedly concur that your soon to be ex deserves a kick in the ****! LOL! For the life of me, I have never understood how anyone can cheat on their partner. One would hope that if they loved you enough in the first place to marry you and have children with you, then they would respect you enough to be faithful or break up with you before they stray!

Hugs to you!

We will have to cover antibiotics and strep throat protocol and discuss last week at school and getting divorce paper work filed.

I think I'm kind of stuck with him in my life to a certain extent because of the kids, but it'll improve right, I mean it has to.

Thanks, you all are making me feel a little more positive .

Can I get one of those pep talks? Or are they only for the ladies? Because I have a hard enough time feeling good about myself in fair-weather situations as it is...

i'm not so good at pep talks...


e-hugs, I can do. (((((((hug))))))

Toad of Steel,

Good Afternoon! Of course, you can have a pep talk. After all, people are what get people through the best and worst of times.

I am very fortunate in that I have a group of very close friends and family who comprise my inner sanctum: we love each other unconditionally and provide massive emotional support to one another as well as having a lot of fun together!

So how is NJ doing? I grew up in Middlesex County (Old Bridge and Matawan to be exact).

Today has been a perfect day - I had lunch with my friend Claudine and her fiancee Edmond and her two children from her marriage. And now, I am going to see the film Thor which I meant to see yesterday but I got too busy seeing other friends!

So the offer to give you the pep talk of a lifetime is on the table!

Hugs,
Leslie

Then go ahead and do it... i'm at a point in my life where nobody cares about me at all, and if you can even approximate that feeling, that would help me out a lot...

Hello, Toad. How's your depression?

Toad of Steel,

I hope you are in better spirits. I apologize for my delayed response but as usual I am slammed out the eyeballs with a myriad of competing priorities that all need to be tended to NOW!

Please advise if you would like your pep talk privately (email) or publically - meaning right here in these forums. Actually, option #2 might be a fascinating exercise - with the goal in mind to infuse some positivity into the boards (which are rampant with negativity)!

Should you choose a public pep talk - which will be achieved via a thread created by me - I think we can vividly demonstrate that people do care about you! The primary reason I am amenable to doing this is because you are always nice in your forum posts. Your pleasant personality shines through consistently! I bet Hyperlexian (who is absolutely wonderful) would be game to participate!

Dare we go??

Leslie

of course i am up for a pep talk also. public is the way to go (maybe)!

Hyperlexian,

Hey Lady! I am excited to hear that you think the public pep talk thread might be a good way to go! Please allow me to clarify - my vision is that I see you as a cheerleader of sorts because you always encourage people in the forums. That is why I think you rock!

I reached out to Toad of Steel to see his level of interest!

How are you doing Lady?

Hugs,
Leslie

oh i would definitely be supportive - i generally try to be whenever possible, unless someone is being quite a douchebag lol. but i have reservation for ToS's sake, because some people on here can be quite critical and may be generally exasperated in some way. so a thread of pep could open him up to a whole lot of slings and arrows, so i dunno if that would end up being less positive and more detrimental

perhaps the best idea if a person needs a pep talk is a thread in the Haven requesting support.

Hyperlexian,

Thanks for your input as always! I almost fell out of my computer chair LMAO when you mentioned the instances in which some posters are being douchebags intentionally! Hell is other people, right? And misery loves company right? LOL!

I think your suggestion about utilizing The Haven subforum is the way to go should we initiate such a thread. Thanks dude!

How are you doing?

Leslie
