I just made it through a difficult night with flying colors!! My family and I are hugh Football fans in general and especially Pittsburgh Steeler fans. Tonight was the first time I can remember that we did not watch together because my husband choose to spend the money to buy a plane ticket to fly 1400 miles away to watch with his new "friend". My youngest daughter offered to come home to watch with me but when I found out that the guy she is newly dating wanted to watch with her I told her to have fun with her friends. It could have been a terrible evening but everytime I had a bad moment, and there were a few, I remembered the support on this site and felt better. It feels so good to know I'm not the only woman going through this horrible, hard time. And guess what? Tonight became another learning, growth experience for me! I made myself a burger and had a beer and cheered and yelled at the TV just as if my husband was here - AND - I had a good time!! Thank you all for that!

Good for you! Once you cross one 'milestone' you will find you are empowered to cross the other. Hold your chin up and enjoy life. You-all of us-can do this!

I also feel a great appreciation for this forum. It's the first place I look when I turn on the computer. Thanks to all here.

Sounds like fun!

making beer chili for dinner.
I make hot chili, then put beer in it..

I don't drink to excess, but I do enjoy occassion wine & a beer.

Maybe that hot chili will burn out some of my anger.
The STAGES of grief are very real & been dealing with anger more lately. I can let go & let God..Guess it's all part of healing...(I need to just turn EX over to GOD..) Divine Justice!

CHEERS!

I was having one of those weeks too. Until my 8yr started mocking his father and telling us how the flea actually cries to him and begs him to spend the night. My son just looks at him and tells him "I have school tomorrow, I have to go home" A full grown man trying to guilt his own child to sleep over. He wants my son to stay over so he can play with big foots son. How pathetic and low can a man go. My son can actually read him like a book in less than a year. That made me smile and I can picture the flea kneeling in front of my son crying while big foot is listening to him. Life is good.
