Re: confused again Cowboy12: don't feel so down alonewith2 ..your just having a bad day / week ...hell we all do . but our lives will get better..you'll see, its tough when our self esteem seems low and we want to feel loved by another, but I don't think you or I or anyone else would find that happiness through our ex's right now... I guess we need time to heal and re-group. and love ourselves enough again to let someone new in our lives...
BE GENTLE ON YOURSELVE .
Re: confused again alonewith2: I really do not want my ex back, but I feel that it may lead to him moving back in. I have been struggling trying to make it on my own, but everything keeps falling apart. My beautiful plan was going so well. I took my daughter out of daycare for the summer, set it up so my sister would watch both my kids for a much lower price. My job increased my hours and my payrate July 1st. When I called to have my STBX taken off the car insurance, I had them check around for cheaper insurance. I cancelled some of the Direct TV programming so the bill would be cheaper. My other sister just bought a house and would be moving out of one of my mom's apartment houses. I had planned to move in there Sept. 4 and rent this house out. I had taken careful consideration into all my plans and thought I had found the perfect plan, but .......
my sister quit babysitting with only 3 weeks left to go before school starts, my work place has been slow so I have been called off a few times (in addition to the times I had to leave early/call in because I didn't have a babysitter), my car needed fixed, my hot water heater went at the beginning of the summer, and now my mom refuses to rent that apartment to me (but hey she said my STBX could move into one of her apartments).
I'm just feeling that even when I try to make everything right and plan ahead, everything just falls apart. I haven't been able to save up any money this summer because of all these problems. It just really sucks to be me right now. It sucks even more because my 7 year old son keeps asking me why we can't be rich. It breaks my heart. I have never wanted to be rich, only comfortable. I wanted to be able to provide my family with what they needed and a few of the things they wanted. Now, my comment is always, sorry honey, but mommy doesn't have the money right now. Now my son is thinking that being rich would solve all our problems. I never wanted to teach my son that. What have I done?

Re: confused again sourpuss: don't let him back in out of desperation or fear.
you also don't want to teach your son that it is ok to settle for less than one truly deserves.
teach him instead that one should do whatever one must do to maintain their dignity & independance.
this is a setback, you'll get through it.
