I totally understand. I'll go check out that thread now.
And you don't have to get too deep with your emails... I know there are things that you are handling that are battles you have to fight on your own. Just saying "howdy" is a good thing to me.
You know... it's one of those "you're one of the few people I trust" things. I'd be happy to hear from you if you were talking about what you had for breakfast.
Guess I'll go do some reading.

Thank you Val, you know that means a lot coming from you.
When I sort through it all and I am through this mess I promise, you will be THE FIRST I email.... It is just that things changes so rapidly and just living it is wearing me out, y'know? Yes, I know you do.
Rest assured that I am leaning heavily on my family and my very few close friends... My girls are keeping me going and now instead of feeling like they are just one more thing that I fucked up... they are my source of strength and inspiration. I miss them so much now when they are not with me.... We are getting closer every day. They know that the divorce is on the brink of being final... I am trying to hide my anxiety from them, but I can NEVER hide from those that I love - I am incapable.
They are the most precious children on the face of this earth. Yes, I know that I am biased.... but how can I not be? The thought of them makes me feel good now, like they are among the few things that I actually DONE RIGHT!... I have NEVER felt this before... Before, I always felt like I was failing them in some way, no matter what. Now I see in them, how much I really have done RIGHT!! I mean that Val, I really do.
So I guess on the most basic level, I am heading in the right direction... nothing is more important to me than being the kind of mother that they deserve. Am I perfect? No... but I am constantly striving to make them proud and deserving of thier trust, love and respect..... If I have that then everything else will fall into place!
I promise that I will write you when it is all over.
You have my word. I don't have much in this life, but when I give my word it means everything because that is all I have.
