This is my blog; a place for me to put down my views, emotions, ideas, rants, and pretty much anything else I can think of put down while I'm typing. Enter at your own risk, I may be rather emotional, pessimistic and angry one day and downright giddy the next...You never know with me!
I'm so sorry to read this entry, but I totally understand. I was in the same place in my marriage about two years ago. Everything was my fault, I just didn't understand him, I was never there for him. Nevermind that I took care of him, the house, our pets, worked, volunteered, and went to school.
He was a mess physically, mentally and emotionally. So, I finally told him that that was it, we needed to separate. In May our divorce was final. He's realized he screwed up big time and has started to work on his health problems and is seeing a counselor.
I regret the divorce, but we are still very good friends. When his mother died, and when my father had his heart attack, we were there for each other. This time it was as friends. If we hadn't gotten the divorce when we did, I don't think we would be able to do that....because I think I eventually would have ended up hating him.
I hope things work out for you, whichever way it goes, and if you need to vent, just drop me a line.
Wait a minute.
There is nothing selfish about that.
Anyone who tells you that you're being selfish for putting yourself first-send them my way so I can hit them.
For too long women are told that their families come first-parents, husband, children, in-laws... It's our job to make sure everyone else is happy, often at the expense of our own happiness.
If you need to be alone-live alone, etc... In order to come to terms with who you are, then so be it. If your friends and family can't support you-whether they understand or not-whether they agree or not... If they can't support you then there's a problem.
Coming to terms with who we are is an ongoing process. We're always learning-and changing. When we need to step away from life for awhile to come to grips with ourselves it is important that we do so.
Good luck! Don't allow this to bring you down-use this time to bring yourself back UP!
I'm so there! As soon as possible-which will hopefully be today! I was going to ask you if you've had any time to write more. Now I'm going to get all excited and start bouncing. Silly Noe...
Yay for money! Three more weeks of student teaching? Exciting, exciting! When will you know if they can offer you a job? It can be such a bitch getting a teaching job, it's amazing! They cry about needing teachers, but then it's hard to find a job once you've got your credential! I've got a couple of friends who had to sub for a year or two before being given a full-time position. But I have a couple other friends (brother and sister actually) who got jobs right after they finished their student teaching. Of course one of them was replacing his previous high school band teacher and the teacher had said he wouldn't retire until this guy was ready to replace him so he was guaranteed the job before he even finished high school! Okay, I'm going to fill up this whole box but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you can stay at the school you're at now!
