Re: Thursday Truths
And yet they didn't really "get" it. I've long thought of the RE henhouse as simple-minded. Good to know they don't disappoint!
yay for the date! We will need details after
Here is a truth: There ARE situations where a man has a completely secret life. When a person is a closet criminal. When a wife has NO IDEA that the man they married is a sicko. Because he is smart, charming and good at hiding things.
The detective I talked to the day my X was arrested let me know that it is extremely rare for ANYONE to have any idea their SO/brother/father/coworker is a pedophile.
If you wanna see a trainwreck, take a look at the many women who stay with these men after knowing the truth. I will tell you that since sharing my story there have been 4 women from TN and TB that have PMd me about their H's being caught in the same situation and worse than my X... all but one stayed with the man. It makes me sick.
Yep. scary huh?
Sure will
My truth: Lately I'm cranky, pissed off at the world & hypersensitive about everything way more often than I normally am or should be.
I think part of it is the upcoming holidays are getting to me more this year than any previous year--I love the fall/winter holidays so I hate that I'm dreading them this year rather than looking forward to them.
This funk sucks.
My Truth:
I am so hopeful for the future that it will be even better. I thought my marriage was good with my stbxh but appranently it was not for him. I am now on a healing path to self love and self respect that I can only imagine things getting better. The world may not be but I find my own inner island of peace.
Other truths:
Some of these posts make me feel like beating a baby kitten with a 2x4 full of rusty nails.
I almost just peed my pants laughing because someone left me a message on my office phone that was just playing bad elevator music. Maybe it was due to visiting River's pot office this morning.
Yeah, I am being biitchy today.

Truth is... I want to shank my boss. He is driving me insane today. I seriously can't handle much of him before I go BSC on his azz.
I'm too busy living my trainwreck of a life...where is the link to the post where the hens are cackling about us?
Oh, I'm sure they will find their way over here. I'm just waiting. I need some entertainment today. I'm bored.
Bowies linked it up earlier in this post I think.
I didn't see anything about us in the link that Bowie's posted. Maybe I'm blind or they were talking in code?
It was in response to Melinda asking if she's BSC or sOmething and someone said, "no you're not crazy like this girl, she fits in w a chase and Haines" something to that extent
It's on the second page, here's what I saw:
Unless you're claiming you have PTSD, I don't think lindsay's comment applies to you.
I can understand feeling a little defensive when people talk about that board, but I don't think anybody thinks every person on that board is a mess who brought it all upon themselves. There are people over there like you and GOZF and Jeana who we tend to forget post on that board because you don't fit in with the trainwrecks who are throwing themselves at every dude who walks by. You should know better than to lump yourself in with people like achase and haines because I don't think any of us would.
I think the gyst was that we throw around that concept here like anyone who was a victim of domestic violence/domestic abuse is also suffering from that when it really was meant for people who had been through a trama such as war. If I remember correctly, MCC was saying that her therapist was trying to diagnose her with PSTD based on only one session and she disagreed with her.
Oh ok now I get it. thank you!
On a side note, I DO have PTSD but not from war, or my ex-h. So then I thought somehow I had started that
Yeah, what achase said...RE jumped on the PTSD bandwagon...regardless of the fact that I said the therapist nutso.
Ummm, ok...
*cough-2006Mama-cough*
How did they defend staying with the guys?
Two of them wanted to "stay together for the kid/kids" and one just loved him too much to let go. These women all had SOLID evidence that no mistake had been made.
I can't believe they allowed their children to be around these men.
To be fair I stopped talking to them when they made the firm decision to stay, so it had been a while and they may have left since then... I hope.
