fa-la-la ladies and gentlemen
This site saved me when I was trying to come to grips with fact that my fiance was never going to be a father , but instead a drinking buddy, wallet and babysitter for his children(I am all for babysitting grandkids,but aren't you supposed to be allowed to say no without fear of the kids getting ticked off?)
Anyway I want to thank Dawn for starting this, and thank all the souls that after being pushed by this or that sought this place.
I am feeling a little sad with the holidays and am focusing on my many blessings, two beautiful boys,loving parents and good friends calling me often and reguarly .
Even so I am trying to not let them know how sad I am when they wondered why I was with him anyway,because being my friends they actually thought I deserved better! LOL
This site has been a source of expression that I know has to be a healthy thing for many of us. We wouldn't have many friends of we called them several 2AM's or went on and on about something they may not even get, so having people who "get it" is a gift.
Reading all your posts , sharing, having been supported when I felt I was on verge of being a nutcase, well,it deserves a big thank you.
I wish you all a very merry Christmas, or perhaps a Happy Hanukkah.

Forrest Gump was on last night....
...and the part I watched was when Forrest bought the fishing boat. Lt. Dan came to "be his first mate." Remember how well Gary Sinise portrayed the bitter and hurt nature of Lt. Dan?
A person who had his future planned out and everything under control. He gets injured and loses his legs, and falls out of control with alcohol and drugs. He joins Forrest and the storm comes up and he curses God, but finally he makes peace with God and Forrest.
It was such a poingnant scene with Sinise turning to Forrest and saying "I never thanked you for saving my life" and jumping in the water and swimming off underneath those beautiful majestic clouds. We later see him at Forrest's wedding walking on metallic legs and with his fiancee -- a lady from Vietnam.
To me, that movie was a good portrayal of the healing circle.
Yeah, I am missng my father this holiday season -- part of me misses the ex. But things do get better and having a place of support is really, really good.

surrounded by friends
I met with friends who called yeterday and have a girlfriend watch a movie right now after a day out, yes I will be fine and thank you so much for the encouragement from my online buddies. As to how he is doing, his only friends were who I introduced him to, guys at a neighborhood bar, or his needy children.
I will eventually stop missing him, stop being upset with him enough for "not getting it" and just feel sorry for him , I can see that now.
Funny about the Captain Dan analogy, who doesn't love that movie?Positive messages on many subjects. I am actually trying to think of new goals for myself. This can be a start as well as an ending.
