Marie,

I was in the exact position you find yourself about a year ago. I remember feeling all the things you have expressed.
My heart brakes for you.

My advice - treat yourself as you should be treated and not as you have become accustomed to being treated.

You cannot do this alone. Resist the urge to retreat and seek out your strongest, best girlfriends. They can help you transition out of this marriage. And out you must be.

You and only you can heal your broken heart. It takes so much energy to heal. Energy you will not have if you remain in the relationship.

As the clouds lift you will be able to see yourself and him differently. When you can start to laugh at him, then you know you are well on your way to an intact heart.

One day at a time,

Liz

Liz, very, very interesting. I just gotta know...is this blog something that anyone can write on? How did you do that? Gotta know, just gotta know.

I was thinking of paying to have a billboard put up with my husband's picture and the three sluts I know about (with a couple blank, generic spots for those that I don't know), but that would be taking my anger out in a really un-classy way, and I know it. So, next best thing? Yea, in print.

I'm a Scorpio with the patience of a saint...but yank my tail and I'll feast on your remains. There's lots of anger here ladies and I've only just begun to figure out exactly how I will release that anger. I'm not stupid, nor would I behave in a way that would reduce myself to a level below my integrity. What's that phrase - Hell knows no rath like that of a scorned woman. Heck, this lady has only scratched the surface. The atom bomb is gonna have a little kick back to it.

Thanks Liz. M

Marie,

You go girl!! Let your anger out in healthy ways, but let it out. Then enjoy the next part of your rich, wonderful life.

My blog is just a place where I get my story out. My online diary, I guess. I hope you can find it useful.

Liz
