If it weren't for my dog, Sugar,I'd of had nobody to love on me. <BR/>But God was good, and He showed me in His word all the ways He loved me, more than my estranged husband. It sounds like a crock, but really, I decided that God was a better husband to me than anyone else could be. So I let Him. And I know it's not the same as having a man hold you in his arms, but I asked God to hold me and He did.<BR/>As for the movies, I'm with you. Until things are settled, I wouldn't watch 'em. And I owned a ton of them. Heck, back then an AT & T commercial could put me over the edge. But try writing. I did that, and it really helped get all that hurt and anger out of me.<BR/>Keep me posted on how you're doing and write anytime. I've been there (we were separated for 2 1/2 years) so I know some of what you're feeling. Hang in there...you're gonna make it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-1163396869635598642006-11-12T23:47:00.000-06:002006-11-12T23:47:00.000-06:00I am a little different.

I find sadness and tears a much more positive (and less toxic to those around me) way to release negative emotion. Hmmm...maybe you and I together would make one complete, emotionally healthy human being.Lisa :-]https://www.blogger.com/profile/02237889098638895390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-1163385908732379092006-11-12T20:45:00.000-06:002006-11-12T20:45:00.000-06:00I am struggling with the same issues.

I have decided that tears are good - they at least get out the emotions, so that when it is time to stand up for myself I can hopefully do it without the tears. <BR/>Dealing with anger is much harder for me. I am trying to get angry rather than upset, and learning to deal with other people's reactions to seeing my anger - since they aren't used to my going along with whatever they want to say and do.Shelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870112367076954109noreply@blogger.com
