Thanx Fayerody. I really could use some support. I'm working on getting into counseling but it could take some time. I just really use some incouragement. I used to be so full of laughter and life was so great. But this situtation with my husband and his hurtful ways have really turned me into a bitter person. I stay sad all the time. I always see the negative in things anymore. And I always feel that the nice things that happen are the calm before the storm so to say. If something good happens it always seems like something really bad is going to happen. I just want to be happy again. I want to be loved. I want to get over the pain of his cheating and controlling ways. How? Am I going to be miserable for the rest of my life?

Okie, I'm almost where you are. Just now getting around to taking care of myself after being hurt by a controlling husband. We are NOT going to be miserable for the rest of our lives. How? I'm not sure, but with this awesome support system here, we'll figure it out. i have a friend dropping by

I'm almost embarrassed to say this place is addictive in how it helps you feel like a worthwhile part of society again. I hope you get to experience that warm fuzzy feeling too.

I really hope you are right. I so want to be my perky, happy self again. Sometimes I look back and it seems as though i was in someone elses body. And i really want to go back there. If i could first off make the decision to stay or go and be comfortable with my decision and get over this hurt. I'm so angry! But i'm mostly hurt. And I don't even know how to begin to get my myself. I don't even want to be around me. I don't even know if I truely remember that person

Oh Okie, I know exactly how you feel. If the last few days have been any indication for me, it's going to be a rollercoaster ride of emotions, but I think it's going to be worth it in the end, for both of us. Whether you stay or leave, this is going to be a good place for you to work out your feelings.

Hello Okie.

Like you and WI Fighter, I am "recovering" from a relationship. My circumstances are different. I was abruptly and unexpectedly abandoned by a mate of 15 years. Lost every thing, and even placed my dogs into loving homes, as I dealt with what has been diagnosed as PTSD, "adjustment disorder" and severe depression. I look back on a happier balanced me and wonder who the heck that dame was.

This all happened 22 months ago -- and I am still crawling out of the pit.

My heart goes out to both of you and what you are going through.

I highly recommend two books: Crazy Time, nonfictin, and Jennifer Crusie's Fast Women, which has some excellent descriptions of what post-divorce, post-relationship, is emotionally like.

I hope you'll find comfort and help here, Okie.

Faye, I love my ex's comment that he goes for younger women now because women his age (meaning MY age) let themselves go. This coming from the guy who's gained about 30 pounds since I left and has a huge beer gut now.

Tell me that's not incentive for me to make sure my weight never goes above what it was when we were married. hehe
