Default No more advice

Just reaching out in my thoughts for you, dear. I'm sorry it's hurting so bad...When I come back (early August, maybe?) we'll get together.

You're on my mind.

Susie, I am so sorry for the pain you are in. I haven't walked the road that you travel but please know that I am here. If you want to just hop in that car and drive feel free to head north. I honestly am not that far from you.

*huge tight hugs*

...my offer is for real, you hear?

I have no sage advice and nothing to offer except <<HUGS>>. Sometimes it's the best we can do just to keep moving forward. Don't stop moving forward...OK!

Loss of love is wicked hard to bear, betrayal of love is exquisitely painful. I am so sorry you are enduring this lesson right now. When it happened to me, friends all said, "You'll be all right, just give it time." My answer was always, "Of course I will. It's just the here and now that really hurts."

It will abate, Susie. Of course you will....it's just the here and now that really hurts.

I just wanted to jump in and say I am sorry for the rough patch you are going through. I hope you can get some peace and clarity and move forward a wiser woman..........and that you can definitely patch things with your son. Hang in there!

Susie...

Just wnat to say I'm sorry that you are going through this and in regards to the Pastor... they mean well but are humans and can be wrong as is obviously the case here.

I don't much experience in this area so I'll just send you a cyber hug and prayers for strength as you deal with this situation.

Nancy my friend, when I write it is almost always what I am feeling at the moment. I use my emotions to convey on paper what I feel. I would love to come see you sometime... that is when money and time permits....

TT Family,
I took a few days from this thread to clear my mind and hopefully once again beable to think rationally... I do not hate Marc, nor do I ever see us getting back together. I will always love him but there is a time and place for everything... Everything has it's season, and I believe that whole heartedly... I have done a lot of thinking and soul searching over the last 3 weeks since he left. We have talked once over the phone but it was strained, almost forced conversation. I can remember a day when we would talk about nothing but yet that conversation was everything. I no longer cry tears of pain and sorrow, but sometimes tears of loneliness. I have found great peace and solitude in knowing I have done the right thing, and that there is no turning back.

I am getting the house ready to sell, and who knows maybe move for a fresh start. I have to do what is best for me emotionally, physically and mentally. I refuse to sit and worry myself over the what shoulda coulda beens and am pressing forward in hopes of a better stronger new me. I can't say what tomorrow will bring, but I do know if all else fails I have been true to myself.

I am so greatful for the family I have here on TT, each one of you hold a special spot in my heart. Because of you I have become a stronger and more independant woman... thank you for all your prayers, thoughts love and support..... Always Susie
