Ah, good move in standing your ground! I think I know what you mean. It sounds like a divorce issue, and what you are saying rings true for me.

It sounds crazy, but go to the SPCA and get a dog. I swear to God, it helps lots of people.

Glad its gettin' better trippi

Trippihappy, I am going through events in my life that are causing me pain and no shortage of despair but just as my children run to me for comfort and to hold them while they cry, I've recently started going to mass every day to run to MY "father" to cry. I listen but I cry through the entire service to my ":father" and ask him for comfort just as my children desire that from me. Once done, I dry my tears and go home and I am okay enough to do the things that need to be done.

The divorce was back in 03 actually.

This post was put up after my ex used the death of my newborn baby last year as an excuse to claim I was unstable and take my other two children away from me.

Trippi, so good to hear that your situation/case is moving in a bettter direction for you,and that things are improving.

Thanks, too, for keeping this thread alive; I, too, believe that it helps people continue to receive/give valuable tips for all suffering from bouts of depression,anxiety, and/or lonliness.

"Never give up, no matter what is happening or going on around you."

I hope that all find inner peace.

"Man's inhumanity to Man" (freely substitute "Woman" in either or both positions) is so sad. Life is such an opportunity and privilege, and people too often waste it getting what they think is revenge, when really they are just damaging themselves.
