echoes and voices

I am so sorry that things didn't go so well this year! Keep in mind that this too shall pass. It's only one Christmas of many in your life! Sounds like a guy that sends you a text message two hours after you were supposed to meet, isn't worth your time. Perhaps that is a good thing at this time in your life hon! Hang in there! There are better times a comin'! Love, Lisa

yes, the single parent christmas does have a few... holes. I have had some moments today myself. sometimes, I am not able to find that silver lining. There is a lot of power in positive thinking but I can't always deliver.

On the other hand, you (and I) have come a long way down the road and have a long way to go. Only One knows what is up ahead. And He will decide when it is time to let us know.

file those papers. it want be fast but once the ball is rolling, it will take some stress off of you.

Beth said...

I'm with Tina. Don't wait for him to file, go ahead and file for divorce yourself. That's what I did. Why wait?

The dude who stood you up? Fuggedaboudim. Rude rude rude and there is no excuse.

Look ahead to the coming year with bright eyes and know that good things are going to happen for you.

Hugs, Beth

It'll take money, but you need to file for divorce if he won't. Its almost a punishment...he won't do it, yet he doesn't want you. That is a stark realization. As for Barry, when you guys dated before, even then, there was that cloak of secrecy surrounding your relationship. He'll say due to this or that, but when someone loves you, wholly and fully, he will risk anything to be with you. Heather, you are so worth someone's time and love. He just hasn't come into your life yet, or if he has, you don't know it yet. Barry is a step backwards. Do not go there again. You've already been there. Take care...

One person wanting out of the relationship is enough. File on his apathetic ass and cut him loose. It's been almost a year since I gave mine the "Felix Unger" heave-ho and if I hadn't filed on her my sons and I would probably still be in limbo. I refused to give any more control over my life to a person who didn't care about my welfare. My papers are finally on the Judge's desk and the New Year will bring me resolution and a fresh start.
I'd also ask your friend point-blank what happened. He owes you that much.

That is horrible of your X to leave Austin waiting on Christmas. That has to be heartbreaking to watch. I also feel bad for you being so lonely on Christmas. I am sure that things will look up in the future for you. I think being lonely is better than being in the situation you were in last year. Keep your chin up the New Year is just a few more days away!! I'll join you in getting back in shape. Julie

Sorry your Christmas day wasn't what you were expecting it would be. I think things happened that you didn't expect and that sucked. Just remember: This was the FIRST. The NEXT one will be a lot different.

I got your text LATE last night my time...I didn't have my phone with me yesterday. After I went up to bed is when I got it and by then, it was past midnight east coast time. I missed a call from my sister and a couple other text messages too. LOL. I totally forgot to pick it up when the kids woke us up yesterday morning. SORRY for not texting you back!!!

I hope your weekend goes better than you anticipate, making up for a "less than" Christmas. :)

((((( hugs))))) I hope the rest of the weekend is much better and the Butterfly party is wonderful!I can't wait to see pictures

Linda said...

I am really sorry that things turned out so sadly for you. I am going to keep praying that it gets better for you and your children. You deserve it so much. Linda

Sounds like we had the same day, different circumstances but the same results. Things will get better they always do.

Maire said...

I'm so sorry you were feeling so badly...but, its ok to feel down when you have such disappointments. AS for the people in your life that won't or don't do the right thing, screw em' they arent worth your time, you do what you need to do for YOU. Hang in there *hug*
