OT Just sank in.

Prayers going out.

Having gone through this, the best thing is prayer, staying positive and learning and using the postive aspects of what you are going through. There will be ups and downs and the key for me was to find postive aspects of the downs and learn from them.

My faith, friends and dogs helped me get through it and in hind sight it was actually was a good thing, but it would have been a difficult to convince me of that when I was going through it.

Well this is a hard question, not hard to give support, but just to decide on how much to let hang out.:(
The mother of my children and I were divorced in the mid 60's. I damned sure didn't want it, but she wanted someone else, and so it became, except she didn't get her intended although she had a child by him.
I raised him as my own for three years and grieved just like everyone else when he was killed in a motorcycle wreck when he was in his twenties.
I swore for twenty years or more that I still loved her with all my heart no matter the betrayal, but that was just because I never got up the guts to face reality. And part of it was that I didn't want to let go of the last dregs of innocent I still had buried deep under everything else.
After having bad luck with two more wives we dated a couple of times and reality finally showed itself. The love I thought I had for her was love for an ideal in an ideal world. The karma returned to her and I married again. (Now I just feel sorry for her.)
Just before I married again I was given six months to live, this was in '84 and I copped an attitude and started doing things totally out of character for me. Then one day I had another epiphany and reality rasied its head again and I then knew what kind of person I had married and decided that if I did die in six months I damned sure didn't want that bitch to get all I ever worked for which isn't much, but by the Gawds it is Mine!!!!

Then my Barbie came along. Now all is as things should be and by the God's Blessing's I discovered that the ideals I held when I was young were indeed good ones and that True Love as I always thought it was and could be, was indeed all that I imagined and more.:)
My Barbie didn't help me regain any innocence but she has saved my life and continues to do that on a daily basis. If it wasn't for her And my religious belief's I would many days take my .357, walk into the woods and never come out except by being carried.
My Barbie makes all my sickness and pain worth bearing, one day at a time.
Barbie told me in the beginning she didn't care if I lived only two days after we were married if she could but spend them with me, actually she said we didn't even have to get married, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

So as has been said, "Hang in, it does get easier." although it doesn't seem like it ever will.
 
What a great story and post, Yvsa.

Your Barbie must be someone special.

The sharing done by Yvsa and others is one of the reasons I keep coming back to this forum. I have "enough" K's to last 10 lifetimes. But the stories and experiences of the forumites here is what is really special to me. The sharing gives hope.
