also... catching up.....Kiahj, Mrshabious, and Eeclem
Napa post got so long, I neglected to add:
Kiahj - so sorry you're going through this rough patch, and as the others all said, if there's anything we can do for you here -- even if just to listen -- happy to be the safe venting place for you.Once a DC Nestie, always a DC Nestie.
Eeclem - what did you decide about the house? (my advice would be to buy, too....)
MrsHabious - congrats on your remission news! never underestimate the power of positive thought in times like this!
what else did I miss?
Pam and John

You're so sweet, thanks Pam. I really do appreciate the support of you and all of the amazing women on this board.
No go on the house. Too big, too far, too much work. It was overwhelming and the cost of utilities/maintenance might have done us in.
Welcome back!
KiahJ -- bc your dog's middle name is my daughter's name, I feel a kindred connection.
and yeah, I'm divorced, too. My kids were 3 and 8 when I kicked my ex's ass out (he's in federal law enforcement, too, but different branch...). It is hard, it is sad -- but it is not the end of the world. (yeah, it may seem that way sometimes, I know) I wish there had been a Nest for me to lean on, back in those days.
"What is a week-end?"
Aw, I love her middle name... always wanted to name a little girl that.
It has been sucky, but I've had a lot of support, which I am grateful for. We are continuing to go to therapy, which sort of surprised me that he has continued to show up, but we either have a lot to work through or we need to walk away. Either way, someone smart (several smart people) have told me to make sure that I protect myself, hence the attorney rec. So we'll see what happens, but thanks for sharing your story. Nice to see that there is life (and a great life judging from how happy & great you are!) after this baloney.
Pam, Thank you so much. I am feeling GREAT these days and getting stronger every day! Watch out world!
