3:29 PM [MAS] Pualani @28: Am so tired of watching television. Sometimes I feel like an old woman--I look around and see myself with my cat and say, "Is this all there is?"
3:31 PM [faithful] MAS have you taught about taking a college course. You can even do it online where you do not have to go anywhere. It has really help me to keep my mind focus and busy.

Pualani - I believe so, when we can't or don't forgive, it isn't the person that we are punishing it is ourselves. |

Swan @:07 I believe that is so true! And LOVE I believe is the key to it all. As in Corinthians, ' but these three remain, faith hope and love, but the greatest of these is love' |

Dani Do you think it was good that I didn't initiate any communication with my H today? It is always hard to know just what to do. The person that I am would like to wish him a Merry Christmas, but I don't want to push him further away so I decided to do nothing today. |

Chapman, it is hard to know what is going on in their mind when they do not contact us. I do know that with my h he desperately needed me to remind him that we were thinking of him, missing him, loving him. It is always a risk to be hurt when we reach out in any way, but we do it with prayer and our eyes wide open that they may not respond. We just reach out as God reached out to us. Jim always says to keep it light, funny is good, not romantic, not mushy. Pray about this. |
1: 13 Rosco: I had a mid life crisis I guess, and to put it bluntly I had an affair almost four years ago. College sweetheart. She wanted attention and I was frustrated in my marriage. But had not said anything to her.
[12/24 18:02] Brin [Facilitator]: All, Good evening and welcome to Christmas Eve chat room. May God help us to encourage one another during this time.
[12/24 18:07] Brin [Facilitator]: Hello Priscilla. How are you tonight?
[12/24 18:08] Priscilla97: Hi---I'm struggling during this season, but I'm trying to think of these days (the holidays) as just 'another day' on the calendar :-)
8:39 PM [lalachrissie] Beth D12- told H during therapy session in Sept that she will not support his decision to abandon our family, said that he knows what he is doing is wrong D9- was a little nervous to see him at first but said she would see him once a week, came back after a Halloween outing & said Daddy was weird and was acting scary & she told him she needed a break from seeing him
8:44 PM [Beth] lala it has to be hard on the children to see their father as a stranger. My d says she does not know her father anymore and she doesn't. I always told my children that what happened between their father and me had nothing to do with them. He was still their father and he needed them and they needed him.

dumbfounded2 I know that but right now I have reached a wall again... it's always in my face and most times I manage to move through just overwhelmed with other things too... be nice if our new master could be finished... I got the spare bedroom cleaner again and other parts of the house too so that has helped! |

buttons- Knock that wall down and march on girl! You can do it. If you can live with your H while he goes through this madness, you are stronger than I am. I couldn't do it. I know how miserable H is making me while he is out of the house, but I know if he were here going through this I would have a fit. I understand how his disinterest and attitude can work on your nerves and emotions. |
