I had to share this Cartoon with you all. Seriously, Maxine cracks me up! So true....so true (IMHO)
Ooops.....I think I hear my "All Men are Dogs" voice on my shoulder. LOL
So Tuesday night I attended a "Divorce Care" meeting at a local church. It wasn't just any Church, it was the church of my Father's GIRLFRIEND. Originally I was kicking and screaming I didn't want to go...but I gave in to the Father pressure! Geez haven't I had enough therapy?! Oh well.... I went, I sat, I listened, and I participated in group discussion after watching a video. I am *Proud* of me!
It really was more comfortable than I thought it would be. But Whoa! I met people whose stories were so similar to mine. Out of 13 people- 4 Men. Anyhoo..back to where I was going with this! One Gal sticks out in particular....Rochelle is her name and she is 68 years old and has been married for 49 frickin years to her Elementary School Sweetheart. Yep.....almost her entire life she has been with this man and what does he do? Somehow he took all their money (Don't have the whole story yet), and ran off with a younger woman!!
Good God...what is happening to this world?!?
I always had the dream that I would have a long and happy marriage. I wanted a love like my grandparents had. A love that lasted over 60 years. That dream was *Shattered* for me and to be honest I'm still bitter, angry, and deeply hurt. My heart was broken and I can say first hand it ISN'T easy to get over something like that. You're life as you knew it is gone in a flash and total devastation sets in. Oh....that's an ugly word
isn't it? Well it's been a long road but I've passed that part of the grieving. But crap other emotions have taken it's place.
**TO BE CONTINUED**
But I'll leave you with this to ponder.........
~Life was so much better, when Boys had Cooties !!~
Love it! LMAO
Ta Ta for now......
You are a strong and courageous woman!
