Sorry - this is dark - i'm struggling tonight

Well here I am it's been a couple of days - been very busy - this is the first night since last Friday, I've actually been home - and I HATE IT!!! I'm struggling this very moment, Friday night of the first long weekend of the season - and here I sit alone. My daughter working - my son and GF getting ready to go out and then going camping for the weekend in the morning. My mom and dad are away, my sister lives 2 hours away and most friends are married so busy with their own families - I just feel so alone, so sad - doesn't help it's getting overcast and I can feel the rain coming in - just like my tears.

I just want to phone him and tell him to f... you! But I'm sure he's with the GF enjoying his new life - damn him anyways. I hate feeling anger, hate towards him but I can't help it at this moment - I'm so angry!

I put my life on hold - 21 years - being the parent, the wife - and what do I have to show for it - I get to sit at home by myself with the damn dog. Can anone say pity party.

It was a day from hell at work - most Friday's on a long weekend are though - and we were very short staffed - so that doesn't help my moods.

I keep arguing with myself - if I was more this, more that maybe he would've stayed - perhaps if he was more of a man - he wouldn't have run out on the best thing he's ever had!

I just want to scream, my god when does this stop - I start feeling good about myself and then it just comes over like awet blanket the sadness, the hurt - I'm so tired of it. What did I do to deserve this. Why am I so obsessed with this. Why can't I just let it go.

One of my clients today - has been through this - she told me to hang in - it really does get better - I keep hearing reassuring words - am I expecting too much too soon, I don't konw, but I am tired - I am truly tired of all the responsiblility, the guilt, the blame - my heart feels so heavy.

Why do I feel this way - when I'm not a horrible person - I am really very kind, loving, the absolute worst thing I've ever done was mismanage money - for that he can't forgive me.

My god what a selfish man he is - he can't see that I supported him, and never judged him for trouble that he got into 21 years ago - he had a criminal record - I've kept that secret from my parents for 21 damn years - I thought he was a better man that that - I never once thru that in his face - and believe me his past actions caused hardship on us, his wife and familu,. we were limited we could not go to the states as a family - only when he decided to drive long haul when he got his waiver could he go - but it was all for ohim. My family told me that I deserved better that i settled - perhaps i did - but I have two great kids - I have no regrets - but damn it - for this all to be over money when he could have stepped in and helped or taken over - but it gets thrown in my face its my fault.

It does really get lonely - in my coversation with the laywer's office - they asked me if I was seeing anyone - I said no - she said good - but what difference does that make - it's no fault - doesn't really matter does it in the long run. I just don't seem to attract much in the male variety - how said is that - OMG this is really a pity part because believe me I'm no way near being involved in another relationship - I guess I just want to feel attractive - I just want to feel someone's arms around me - squeezing me and reassuring me that everything will be okay - I just want to be taken care of, I just want to be loved for a brief moment, a moment that's all.

" You are feeling like I do. 32 years of marriage and he decides to tell me he is cheating on me. I feel like my whole insides are being torn out. Coming home to an empty house except for my dogs is not fun. My kids live 2 hours away and all of my friends are married. Weekends really stink unless my grandson comes for a visit with his mom or my other daughter comes down. Right now I am so lonely and am glad to find that I am not the only one who feels this way. "

" You are such a strong person. So you're having a bad day. You're allowed. Scream, swear, drink, run and allow yourself the hurt. It's OK. This too shall pass. Count your blessings. You've got plenty. "

" you should check out a singer called ani difranco, she's awesome.. i dont know you but i read your post and it broke my heart, i wish we could brand all the arseholes (preferably on their foreheads) they are like small children in a lolly shop, just grabbing what they want and fuck the consequences.. I just hold on to the knowledge that one day the shop will close and they will think about what they have done and feel sick to the stomache.. AND by this time you'll be strutting your stuff or curled up next to someone worthwhile , then thehy'll be the ones out in the cold missing what they lost... chin up sister this will lift.. much hugs and care to you "
