...are seperating, and darn it feels so weird.
one day i'm like "yeah, ok, sounds like this could be for the best" and the next day i'm feelin like :( i'm all packed up and ready to go on the 28th of this month, have arranged a new place to live not too far away from my boys, cant imagine life without them running around causing havoc everyday...but my wife and i are still handling things well and arranging weekly visits for them so i guess i have to look on the bright side.
wont share anymore except to say there is no 3rd person involved or anything like that .
Brummie,
So sorry to hear about your separation.
I know how you're feeling. My hubbie and I separated a few months ago. It was weird for a while but gradually gets better. We are probably better friends now than we've ever been. We have kids also so stay in contact because of them.
I don't know how old your kids are, but they will cope, mine are 2 and 6. If you can still try and help out your wife with the kids, it is hard adjusting to being on your own with kids. Really emotionally draining, especially at night jus before bed time.
If you need to talk just PM me.
Lehaa
wasasister you rock!.
just got off the phone with her.
you are great.
Count me in, i'll be a sister, aunt, cousin. Whatever you need.
I need family too.
remember when that was so much fun?
your parents set it up on the lawn and you wore your bathing suits all day and ate popsicles, laid out to dry?.
when was the last time you did that??
Yep, love it. Want to go now, bit chilli here though, middle of winter.
This is my favourite painting at the moment.
It's by an artist called Amanda Dunbar.
.
well, my mom is critically ill, i'm afraid.
she can't breathe, it's a constant battle, i don't know what to do.
I agree with the others, just be ther for her and leave the rest up to the doctors and nurses, I agree with Blondie, keep in communication with all her doctors. If you can call a friend to come sit with you, just someone to talk to would be a big help for you emotionally.
doubt it would work, depends on how devoted she herself is, not her family. Hell all my family are elders and MS but i managed to get out. Just give her crisis of conscience to read, that should sort her out, mind you she probably wont read it because she's been brainwashed by her family.
If your not devoted to it and she it then I wouldn't bother, it would not be fair on either of you, especiaslly if you decide to have kids.
Best of luck.
Lehaa.
just wondering, did any of you become hermit like after leaving.
i see many of you are able to carry on.
maybe with the help of non-jw family, etc.. but for me, i lost all family and i am having a hard time with acquiring friends, although i have many many aquaintances.
The JW group had 221 members, and the ex-JW one had, guess what... 3300 members!
LOL, yep I'd believe that.
More out than in.
in lowell mass.
a 67 year old former janitor won the mega millions jackpot.
what would you do with all that money?
That's nice youd buy your ex's family houses, I wouldn't buy one for my ex's, my ex's family made it quite known that they did not like me. Made life difficult for me no matter what I did.
My ex though definately, let him pick whatever he wanted and furnish it for him, get him all the staff he needed to make his life comfortable.
driving home after a long bike ride last sunday, i turned onto my street, just a couple of blocks from my home.
clad only in lycra bike shorts and jersey, i had my window down, my shades on, and a nice endorphin buzz from a great outing.
without warning, a large, dense, golf ball sized pine cone from one of our towering neighborhood evergreens careened through my window like a meteor, and nailed me right on my left testicle.
Ow.
No nothing weird happened lately that I can think of, will think about it.

Hi orbi,
Know just how you feel, going through the same at the moment, DF'ed 8 weeks now. I find it real had at times, i'm a single mum with two little kids as well so it makes it really hard to make new friends too.
I've joined my local ex-jw group which has helped immensly, we met up for the first time on the weekend and that was great.
his is the site, just type in jehovah in the search function and you'll get the ex- JW meet up group, just fing the one in your local area and join.
As far as family goes im still having a real hard time dealing with that. Icontacted some famiy members who have already left the Borg but they live in another state, am hoping to visit them over the christmas holidays.
Hang in there it does get easier. If you need to talk just email me [email protected] or PM me.
Lehaa.
