About Me
I have been married for 32 years to an alcoholic/abusive /bully and we are in the midst of a messy, nasty divorce. ACK! Why I waited so long is beyond me. I'm scared to death as I don't have a full-time job and haven't been able to find one in almost two years. We have 3 children, a boy 25 who is married; they had their first child, Samantha, back in March--she is sooo sweet. I have a daughter 21 who moved out of the house on Mother's Day, and returned home this year on April 15th after an ugly 11 months with roommates. Right now she is traveling throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin South Dakota and Iowa with her boyfriend who owns three fun carnival games; So I guess you can say she's being a carny for the summer. She's having a blast. Last but certainly not least is my 15 year old; She recently passed her drivers permit test and I've been teaching her how to drive my stick shift. She's doing an excellent job. My passion is photography and flirting!
Interests
Photography, Autism, Dating, Relationships, Divorce Support, Jewelry Making, Scrapbooking, Looking for a full-time job, and trying to figure out men. They all seem to be the same--really wanting nothing more than sex. I'm wondering when this happens that they all become well, a not necessarily very nice part of the species. Is it at the age of 12? 16? 21? or as I've been told -- it happens at Birth.

Close Breakups & Divorce
I'm a wreck! My spouse and I have been married 31 yrs and have been separated for over a year.
Treatments
- Al-Anon Not Working
- Al-Anon wasn't a good experience for me. I felt like I could talk to the walls at home and get the same results.
- Couples Counseling Not Working
- Tried it many times. He would start to change and then revert back to the old behaviors.
- DailyStrength Too Soon to Tell
- Today is my first day and my first journal entry.
- Family Therapy Not Working
- The kids refused to go.
- Love Not Working
- I am very sad and lonely and wish someone loved me. I know who doesn't but I don't know who does.
- Music Somewhat Helpful
- Sometimes it helps me relax. But I'm so stressed I have chronic neck and shoulder pain--so nothing really helps.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- I've seen so many counselors and never seem to get to the bottom of the issue. Perhaps Divorce is the bottom of the issue.
- Support from Friends & Family Not Working
- My parents want me to try and work things out. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. No one else cares.
- Support Groups Somewhat Helpful
- It was nice to have people to bounce things off of and a safe place to vent.
Close Sexual Abuse
I just want to share some information I've learned that you all might find helpful. I have learned about an alternative healing modality called Emotional Freedom Technique - it is similar to Accupuncture, however no needles are involved -- tapping the meridians in a specific order is what is used. This has been tried on Vietnam veterans with PTSD and proved very successful. Check out emo.com -- perhaps EFT can help you...it is a very interesting healing tecnhique. I wish you love and luck.
