I'm here. I'm okay, at least for the minute. lol

We had a nice family day today.

We haven't talked much. I'm letting him think. Maybe he'll decide his midlife crises isn't worth it.

Whatever happens, I am not going to settle for half a husband anymore. I thought it was his personality, now I know better.
He's either going to be with me 100% heart and soul, or I don't want him.
I'm not going to put up with anything less, now matter how i feel about him.

LOL, that was pretty easy to say. We'll see if I can back it up.

My daughter is furious. She doesn't like feeling like an unwanted toy that can be tossed when you're done with it.
She's also received the lecture about dealing with the consequences of your actions a few too many times. Like he made this family, he's stuck with it.
Frankly, I haven't got to the angry part, and she's jumping ahead for me.
I'm trying to keep her from blowing up. Trying to help her see the good in him, which doesn't help me much. They are both so alike and they get on each other's nerves anyway. I want there to be some kind of good relationship between them. Neither one makes it easy.

My youngest is either ignoring everything or she doesn't have a clue. I think she may be in some sort of denial, or maybe we've done such a good job of not getting along in the past that she isn't noticing the tension.


Anyway, that's the story for today or the moment. Thank you all so much.

Laurie,
Hang in there. It's going to be rough. I'm glad to see that you're already stronger. Please take care. One day at a time.

I'm so glad you checked in, Laurie!! I was beginning to get worried.........

Sounds like you had a much needed nice family day! Your DD is probably making your DH think long and hard, which is something he should do. Kudos to her!!

Please take care of yourself and know that we are here for you,
Pam
