Horned descendants of Judea made me spit my coffee. Well done!

Magic feminine wiles? What drives me nuts is that I feel like all through my life with family, and with my now ex-husband, there is this expectation that I am responsible for correcting the behavior of others. That a judge would have the same expectation of me was just rage-inducing.

I don’t even remember his name now, but it was in Riverside County, CA. I heard he was moved to criminal pretty quickly.

I haven’t had my coffee yet and I’m crying. We desperately need more judges like this- showing respect for humanity while upholding the law.

Yup, that’s one of my cats. I have 4, and the others will scheme to get out, jumping off the balcony and running out between my legs as I bring laundry downstairs. My oldest boy cat is another beast. I wouldn’t let him out after I adopted him so he peed on my curtains and ripped up my couch.

That’s exactly what I was going to say. Not only would it be awful for my kid to be sick and have a sitter cleaning up her puke, but I would never ask my sitter to do that and risk getting sick herself. It’s not a fair ask.

I thought all my insides would surely fall out. So scary.

Hello lovelies! I’ve been AWOL trying to deal with the divorce stuff, going back to school, and.... dating! Last night I met this guy I’d been talking to on okc and he was totally smart, funny, easy to talk to. I’m not looking for anything serious, and we had incredible sex. I am very pumped.

Oh and I wanted to add- Nolo’s divorce books and website are the most helpful thing I’ve come across. I feel a lot more prepared having read them.

I am in the exact same situation, but our meeting is in two weeks. When we decided to divorce a month ago we were on such good terms and we both agreed that we just couldn’t be married, but we could raise our kids as friends. I want that.

I remember reading that portion out loud to my parents and my dad, who was an otherwise horrible person, just broke down sobbing. It stuck with me.

I would gladly kick your husband in the teeth for you. If an open marriage is not something you want for yourself and you feel sure that it’s not something you are cool with in your relationship, you do not have to put up with it.

I have no family at all. My parents were horribly abusive. My husband, my kids, and his mom are all I’ve got.

This week I am all the sads. My soon to be ex husband has the kids this weekend, so I am in a batman onesie crying until I puke or pass out. It just won’t stop. I’m like a wailing Italian widow over here.

YES! I don’t need anxiety meds now, because I take wellbutrin, lithium, and seroquel for my BP2 and it’s balanced me out enough that I could get my anxiety under control. I do DBT too, and it helps so much.

I can’t say it better than you did, and it is at least 50% of the reason I’m getting divorced now.

Aw, I would but he literally has no friends. Not one.

This week hasn’t been as bad as I thought it would be. I am almost done negotiating the financial settlement for my divorce and it’s more than fair, I went back to college and love it, and I’m just not sad anymore.

I am thrilled for Tig and Stephanie. I might even be happier for them than some friends I actually have and know- her documentary made her so real to me. Yay Itsy and Bitsy!

I’m really late. My husband moved out today. It was also my daughter’s birthday. So after her party ended, I drove my kids to their dads’ new place to check it out. We had dinner together to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and then said our goodbyes for daddy’s first night in his own place. Both kids cried the whole…
