EB, thank you…..and thank you for all your advise. I live in CA, fyi.
I have tried through the course of events, to do most of what you have recommended, but I am up against a formidable team, my N husband, and his equally N gf/atty. It has been a costly divorce for me, while not so for my Ex for obvious reasons.
We are at the final stage, and have files our reply decs for atty fees. I took it into my own hands, and wrote my own reply dec in my own words, (my atty wrote the AF trial brief).
Now, it is in the hands of the Court for AF fees, and I hope the Court, after this high conflict case, can pick out the truth amongst all the lies. 🙁
Hi,
I have been reading this newsletter for months now. I have been to afraid to comment, in fear somebody will think I am dumb. I need to reach out. I loved the jokes.
I can’t seem to get away from this man. I will start to take my life in my own hands. I begin to get on my game”
liking who I am, entertaining myself. Mainly doing the right thing, exercise etc:.
All of a sudden, he is at my door. with in a week of hanging out with him. he is ready to move in.
So I do something to get him out of my life. Play sick, he can not take me being sick. To hear him tell it. That is all he does do. Take care of me.
Anyway the reason I am written, I need help. I wanted to introduce myself. Say thank you, I would not have got this far if it weren’t for this site.
I hope to get enough courage to participate.
Tfann,
Welcome and congratulations for posting! Good work.
Have you tried no contact?
Welcome tfann!
Please don’t think that just because you read how stupid we keep saying we all were, that that is what we will think of you! It’s just a “kick myself in the butt” kind of realization that we’ve all had upon finally seeing the light through the fog. There’s nothing you can say here that would shock us…that we wouldn’t believe…that we wouldn’t sympathize with…or that we wouldn’t try to understand and help you with.
The first step is accepting the fact that he is what he is and he will not change…but you need to get away from him ASAP! No Contact is the ONLY way to start the recovery process. Read the blogs…read the articles…ask questions…we’ve all been where you are and we know it’s not easy.
One day at a time….take a deep breath…hugs
Tfann:
Welcome my dear…… share whenever you feel comfortable…
We are all in the same boat….at different places of our ship…..
Sometimes we get off on tangents……like last nights sex talks, but those of us participating relate and it all applies……
Jump in when you feel the need, you will not be judged here, it’s safe and no one is dumb. Yes, we have all done things we regret, but we are all human and we thought we were doing the ‘right’ things at the time….
The only point that matters now is learning how to keep ourselves safe…..both emotionally and physically.
Stay safe and welcome to LF.
XXOO
hehehe …
days of our lies.
good one.
Dear Tfann,
YES, WELCOME!!!
What Erin said is so true, we kick ourselves in the butts, and I don’t know how long you have been here, but I use my “cyber cast iron skillet” to “boink” someone on the head if they get too down on themselves—so you are “not allowed” to be too hard on yourself. Sugar, we ALL made the mistake of beating ourselves up and feeling STOOOOO-pid!
I think the BEST thing about this blog is that there are so MANY SMART AND EDUCATED PEOPLE HERE who have done “dumber” things than I have! LOL And belive me, whatever you have done, there is someone who can “top” you! it isn’t about “dumb or smart” but about being a caring person and being human, and having a heart—the psychopaths PLAY ON THAT to hook us in.
KNOWLEDGE=POWER and you are learning what he is, and that you are NOT alone, and that you are stronger than you realize! and you are NOT stupid! ((((hugs)))) and God bless.
Welcome Tfann – You are already on your way to a better place because you are here. Tell him you have the swine flu…and then start healing thy self…
ps. He is the swine…
welcome tfann,
sickness did make mine go away too.
But they like to have all kinds of diseases. Mine had stomache cancer, lymphoma, lupus, and multiple sclerosis to name a few. They never go to doctors or they pretend that they do but didn’t.
They want all the attention so they can’t stand it when you need attention. My friend told me that the way to get rid of them is to be BORING. Don’t respond with any emotion to anything – no matter what. Tell them “that’s fine” or “that’s ok”, no matter what they ask.
Be bland. think of yourself as a rock, a boring gray rock.
They need excitement and emotional reactions, if you are boring, they go away.
