    About Me

    I am a mom of two wonderful, loving and beautiful boys ages 4 and 7. They inspire me to be strong, to be my best each day and to love despite the recent hell I'm living through. My STBX told me he's having an affair after just shy of 10 years of marriage. My STBX decided to tell me that it was over on our Disney trip with our kids. Great guy, huh! Divorce proceedings are underway!

    Interests

    Going to the theater, listening to music, gardening, reading, exercising, spending time with my kids, traveling and retail therapy. My dream is to shop in Paris and in Rome and not worry about the size or cost all in one trip. I said it was a dream. NOT INTERESTED IN DATING!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Close Infidelity

      It's been a typical roller coaster since I have learned about my H affair. He's been back and forth wanting to work it out. He is so lost and confused, but continues to stay in a relationship with her, therefore, I am out. I deserve better than him. He is a Fucktard and now I know I want a divorce more than anything in my life. I am hoping to have it quickly and amicably for our children's and my sakes.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      He hated our therapist. I use her now alone. He is suppose to be getting his own.
      Divorce Working / Worked
      It's happening, filing should be started in August.
      Forgiveness Too Soon to Tell
      Can't do it yet.
      Reading Working / Worked
      Reading After the Affair by Janis Springs. It's helping me cope and understand. Reading different websites.

      Its ok I guess its just taking the edge off.
      Ambien Working / Worked
      It really helps me to sleep.
    • Close ADHD / ADD

      My soon to be 7 year old was just diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. He is an extremely bright and curious child who academically does well despite his impulsivenes and is easily distracted. I know he will be something great one day, but it is a struggle just to get his socks on!

      Treatments

      Behavior Management Working / Worked
      We use one at home and in school. He loves to get the rewards. If he does not do a chore or is giving me a really hard time I dock his pay which he really hates. He loses 5 cents for every article of clothing I have to pick up or if I have to feed the dog. He loses 10 cents and has to pay his brother if he hits him. This is working out well. He loves his allowance.
    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      Definitely getting a divorce and can't wait to sign the final papers. He is such a fucktard and they deserve each other. I am better and will not be better off without him, but his selfish ways has taught me how to be stronger. I will find my true soul mate.

      Treatments

      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Friends and family also think he is a fucktard. He is emotionally abusive and is extremely narcissistic. Everyone I know on my end who knows the whole story thinks he is a selfish bastard. Not one person truly supported me when I was trying all my might to make it work. What does that say about him?
      Talking Working / Worked
      Family and friends have been very helpful and patient.
      Time Too Soon to Tell
      This is all I can do at this point - give it time.
