Re: Today Hopeless: So what is the story here?
Who left or is leaving who?
Re: Today yella: Hopeless, this will tell you everything you need to know: It's one of my older threads from sometime over the summer.

My reasons for being strong? Ok...
1. My kids. Because of him and his attitude, they don't see him. He's not a dad, he's a sperm donor. Everything I do now is for them, and our lives.
2. My light at the end of my tunnel... my apartment in NH. A place with my name on it, and a place to call our own. Even if it's some tiny place, it'll be mine.
3. To attract better possible soul mates to me, and avoid the messes I keep getting myself into. If I can get through this, I'll have confidence.. REAL confidence, not this fake front I keep putting on. I can attract the mature, stable, real prospects.
4. For me, so I can regain who I was before he came. So I can be the Smiley I was born to be. The stronger one, the one who doesn't back down, the one who doesn't try to change who she is in order to please someone else. If I can beat him, I can beat that. I can be truly strong again.
Ok, this list is much shorter than the other one.

Re: Today 2be: I'm rather new, too smiley. I've read some of your posts but don't know the whole story. Doesn't matter to me anyway. Just know we all are here together, going through the same pain, frustration, anger, fear, anxiety, depression no matter our different stories.
You DO have the strength inside you and it will come out. Just believe that you do and it will happen. Like sheyd said: You've already taken strong steps. I don't know how spiritual you are, and I'm not going to preach (because I hate that) but I believe that we are not given anything we can't handle. You don't even need to think about God... just know that there is nothing handed to you that you can't deal with and won't make you stronger.
Good luck at the meeting today.. you will do great. Let us know what happens and I hope your baby feels better!
(((((( hugs )))))))
Re: Today sheydp: That list is only smaller because it is more important. You are DOING what you need to do!!! You ARE strong! Take a look at that list... and look what you ARE doing to do it!
No more self-defeating talk... Talk about what you are doing today... One day at a time... Today is JUST about todays efforts. The efforts you WILL make. Now... lets hear how strong you are, because you HAVE to be.
