Miss you all
 

Hi all,

I copied and pasted this from the other site. I don't understand having 2 sites?

It is so great to be back to BrainTalk and this forum. I sure have missed you all. I had to re-register to get back on though.

How is everyone? I have been separated now from my abusive husband for over 6 months now. I've been battling with depression and loneliness real bad most the time. For some reason though I seem to keep hanging on though. I had a little hope for a new romance but I don't think it will ever materialize. It was fun though for awhile and got me over the worst of my separation. I guess being all alone in the world with no kids and my 2 brothers not having anything to do with me can get me down at times. And now that I am getting out in the world around others I am beginning to see just what a cold world it is and how mean people can be. I also am seeing that I do not possess the correct strageties to deal with such meaness so it does get hard at times but I have not lost faith yet. I'm sure if my brothers were around me they'd have me committed for the way I act sometimes and for some of the sleepless nights I have. It feels strange to be totally responsible for myself though and have the ability to choose my options in my life now for a change instead of having someone always doing that for me. Kind of scary and exciting at the same time.

Dear Befuddled,
You have made amazing progress. Remember to congratulate yourself.

I'm not sure if a correct strategy does exist for meanness. Let me know if you have any strategies. The best I can do is stay out of the way.

Hi Waves and Mari,

Some of the meaness I cannot get out of the way like my teacher at school. For the time being I've gotten away to get ready for my move but will be back in school soon hopefully.

Dear Befuddled,
That is such a shame that the teacher is not good to you. Is this the same school you told us about regarding studying computers?

Where are you moving? To your own place?
Good luck on the move.
Mari

Hi again,

Yes, this is the same school that I am learning Office 2000. I am still looking for apartments and have been approved for one already as long as my alimony comes through. I would like to move asp as I cannot afford the responsibility of the house. I paid almost $1,000 to a plumber in the past month which pretty much has be in the poor house.

wow befuddled...that was a very hard pill to swallow. OUCH!!!!!
plumbers are very expensive.....yikes.
Hang in there and school will come...I promise!

Thank you bizi. The 1st time I had the plumbing problem this past month I got stressed out terribly. The 2nd time I thought, just another bump in the road.
