The latest landslide of events
I talked to my unhusband this weekend and he said he'll be moving in for a while whether I like it or not, during our converstion I heard a loud noise downstairs and found out my cupboard had fallen off the wall and landed on top of the microwave (which is now seriously dented) and this morning I woke up with a flaming sore throat which turned out to be strep throat (thanks to my youngest).
This has, lately, been my life and I cannot believe I am still sane. So I ended up staying home from work today and you know how depressing that is in the middle of a divorce, it gives you too much time to think about things.
The things that really been helping me through it is support from friends, family and God. This past sunday evening I was invited to dinner at a new friends house from church, who has also been through a divorce from somebody similar to my unhusband. What relief it was to be able to chat frankly and freely with someone who has been there too. Priceless. When you're feeling really low find somebody to talk to, it really helps.
I am just starting to get used to the idea of living (for a little while) with my unhusband again. I keep trying to have hope that it will be okay. If it gets tense I figure I can use the avoidance technique to get through that week and a half. And like my new friend said last sunday, "Take advantage of the free babysitting while you have it and get out of the house. Don't stay in and stew." So true. And he'll be wanting some sons and father time anyway before he leaves for the middle east.
So I'm trying to put a postive spin on it, like I've been having to do with nearly everything else in my life. When can I stop doing that and when will things really be positive again. Oh, to be a mind reader....
