Happy Holidays

Well... I think I am ready to talk... tell you all what has been up with me... why I disappeared.

Remember when I told you my husband deployed to Korea?

Well he had an affair, started treating us really badly, our son and I...and we have since gotten a divorce. The divorce was final in April 2007...

Now for the reality of it all... it was the best thing that has ever happened to me. I know that seems weird... but I am happier than I have ever been...

I don't want to play the blame game... the truth is... I wouldn't change it for the world... my life has been amazing... it is hard to explain... but true.

Justin (my son) and I are having a wonderful holiday season. Our house is decorated... a beautiful tree... a Christmas quilt, and Santa's everywhere. It is so warm... a lot of red, rustic greens, and golden beige...

I have been dating... which has been a wonderful way of figuring out who I am and what I want in my own life.

Things were pretty casual... but I have since met a really nice guy... an amazing guy that I am seeing exclusively.

He is a gamer... of course (laugh) ... an Xbox fan

I have gotten most of my shopping done... just a few little stocking stuffers needed.

I am off of work for two weeks (curls up) and I need the rest... I work twelve hour shifts, so... it can drain you.

I have met so many wonderful people... and I work with a lot of great people.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I don't know how much I can come on here... real life calls and I am having a lot of fun just finding myself again, exploring, discovering the world... having little adventures... finding new interests.

I hope to visit again soon...

Michelle

In interesting you most likely experienced "reward power" (type of power) with a "complementary relationship." (type of relationship)

reward power: the relationship power is based on a person's ability to satisfy our needs.

parallel relationship: when in a relationship power is divided unevenly, with on partner dominating and the other submitting.

So you must of have given him all the power in a relationship which was causing you to be unhappy. It's a whole other story when ending a relationship but I'm going to stop here. If you're wondering how I know all this well lets say I learn a little faster than usual but I can't say the same about my spelling.

It's good that you're more happy after the separation, my parents separated around chirstmas. Anyways Happy Holidays to you and hope everything works out.

This all started in November 2006 and I haven't mentioned it until now. I guess that I wasn't interested in bringing it on here... simply because gaming is about having fun... not dealing with personal stuff. I felt the need to tell everyone, because I just wanted you to understand where I have been and where I am going... that way you wouldn't assume I just split. I have made a lot of friends on here and I wanted to pay you a little respect by letting you know. It has been... a year... basically... and that time was better spent on my son, for obvious reasons. He is doing really good... he got student of the month for December, he is making good grades... all B's and one C, he is becoming a young man... growing, maturing. I wish everyone the best... I truly do. I will drop in from time to time, but the frequency might be "unpredictable..." I am still gaming... not as much, just because of my work schedule and plus real life mommy stuff. I am currently playing Eternal Sonata

Have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year!

Well believe me. Divorce is never easy. Been there and done that and thought I was gonna get married this year and that too fell thru. Seems like she was keeping things from me but hey that's life I guess. Oh well crap happens. But anyways... things happen for a reason I guess. ANyways I wish you happiness and do have a great up and coming year.

Huh...I wondered what had happened to you. Once again, I know I never got to know you that well, and that, it seems, is my loss, but all the same I wish you and your son the best.

I'm on my second marriage and I know that it's not easy. Take it from me sometimes it's the best for everyone. You look out for you and your son.
