I got this rather important message this morning:
When your cup is full — stop pouring. Sip on what you’ve got in there for a bit. If you get to the bottom and there’s not another drop in sight… Well, go wash your cup.

Posted in Depression, Dragonslaying, anger, creating amazing, emotional well being, ex husband, learning, men, mental health, mother, relationships, self awareness, self esteem, separation, women on July 29, 2007 | 2 Comments »

When I was a child I was not allowed to express my anger at what I perceived to be injustice or unfairness. If I did, I was accused of being ungrateful. I had to be ‘good’ and it was somehow my fault if I was bad and I was never able to day something or [...]

Well what can I say to start this off? I am separated but connected. Connected by the mortgage document my ex and myself signed a number of years ago. And darn it we have still not sold the house! It has been 3 months, we’ve lowered the price but until it sells neither of us [...]

In our separation, all  the current hype and advice is the kids come first. He says ‘The kids come first’ but he does not DO the ‘kids come first’. He just does not think of their needs, and what may be good for them – he much prefers to consider what suits him, what is [...]
