Lisa you are my hero. Thank you. I had the same thing. I helped the flea become the man, he was. As soon as he got the job of his dream I was no longer the woman he wanted. He made my life miserable, running around with woman,and then being the adoring husband when he got caught, when I finally got fed up I threw him out. He moved in right away with the office wh*re. He has been out of my house since March last year. I been feeling sorry for myself since the yr. started, seeing how they are still celebrating who knows what, going here and there, taking my son with them. Spending money I thought should be spent in me and my family, Now I find out I was not the only woman who turned away a man that could give her everything and still survive. Thank you. Please email and let me know more or your story I am really interested ladyrb1@hotmail.com
if it is okay with you I would like to hear how you are doing and see what I can learn from you. Thank you Rosie

Thank you. I'll email you soon. It's been a long hard road. There are days I still feel sorry for myself. I just realized that we all have pity parties. It's okay! As long as you don't let it get you down to much. Sometimes I call my friend and just cry to her. I tell her every injustice I feel ( even if it is that I was stuck behind that one person who has 15 items in the 10 or less line) She just lets me go off...then she tells me I'm nuts and we laugh.
We all have a story to tell, mine is a long drawn drama.

Hey, Kate, many of us understand your dilemma. My story is quite different than the cheating husband, but I more than understand being poor. Lisa nailed it, though. Cut back, think about where every penny is spent, work hard. I'm filing bankruptcy-royally stinks. Never in my wildest imagination did I think I'd be here. But I am here and the kids and I will be OK. Self-respect is essential and I can go to sleep every night content with myself. Happiness is important, money is money as long as your basic needs are met. Let us know how you're doing.
