Why wear a ribbon?

 
"For my father and uncle" (bpinct)

MDJunction to me

djfilippone"Before I found this site I felt so alone.  Watching my daughter struggle with IH and being treated like she had two heads from doctors.    I have plenty of family and friends but there was nobody that really knew what she was going through.
I not only have support and love from others who will listen and share their
story, but I have made some forever friends.  Having this support site does make a difference to many.

Ok guys, ex-DH finally admitted that he has a baby with the OW. I think the only reason he told me was bc he thought I was on to him. I think it surprised him that I didn't freak out. It was a bit empowering to be able to hold myself together, though I did cry a little. I also get some pleasure out of knowing that the OW is probably really irritated that I didn't scream at him.

I think she's still trying to compete with me, though. She set up a public social networking account for the baby (with full name). WHY would anyone post pics of their baby (with baby's full name & location) publicly on the internet (when their OWN page is private)? Trying not to fall for the bait.

His parents are mortified, but it makes me mad that he took her to meet them. They told me there is no way they'd like or love her more than me, but I'm so jealous. She doesn't deserve to be in their house.

Ugh. I think about it all too much. Sorry I haven't been on as much, so busy with school!

Patient: Read my story and you'll find out what your reward will be after 25 years. There isn't one....

Hang tough, girlfriend, and forget the jealousy. He's someone else's problem now.

"Well I won't back down
No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of Hell
But I won't back down

No I'll stand my ground
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from dragging me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down"

Thanks, WH. I know you're right. I know I'm better off.

I'm so tired of feeling like this.

patient

that is awful...i mean i can only imagine how it makes you feel..BUT, WH is right! someday and hopefully starting today, you will realize that you were given a gift! a gift of a precious baby and the gift of not having to deal with the Man..you are meant for something/someone much better than him..just remember that

If you want to know where your heart is …
Look where your mind goes when it wanders …

I had been conditioned to think

I had the power to save him

I had been conditioned to believe

it was my responsibility to prevent it

and truth is

i am not qualified to do either.

Thanks, yes, I know. I need to start accepting that I'm FREE from him. I'm no longer walking on eggshells or waiting up til 4am for him.

I'm luck to have my baby. He keeps me on the straight and narrow!
