Just sayin hi 2brix: I just passed the 14 month post her leaving point. I have all the things in place to start the divorce and get on with my life. I never in a million years would have thought that I would be at this point but I guess. Over the past little while I have been living a bizzare life with friends that are half my age dragging me out to be social and meet people. I have had comments made my daughters look great. Funny my daughter is at home sleeping (oh yah I'm supposed to be dad so these two can run amuck then back under a protective wing). Its a blast being dad but now I am starting to get back to the point where I want someone in my life and not just be the "dad". This whole year and a bit has proven to be a most enriching time in my life I have learned that I did not need her to hold me up nor did I have to have someone there to prove my existance. Sure I have been lonely as all get out but now I am stronger. I have went through all my good bys and I hope that she has a better life then what she left. My big statement to that is Karma always comes back with a vengence. Well anyone wanting to talk to a fuddy duddy dad stuck up in the frozen tundra of Alberta your more than welcome.
Re: Just sayin hi Samarra: Hey 2brix,
Nice to see you back....and on the older, wiser, but still fantastic side of the board! LOL!
Fuddy Duddy?? Nah!!! We're just young at heart.
I'm glad to hear you're finding life without her can actually be good.....hope you'll stick around and keep posting!
Re: Just sayin hi charmed: Struggles can make us feel like fuddy duddies, but youth is in the mind and heart. Some days I feel 90, but most of the time I am SHOCKED when I realize my real age because I can't believe I've passed 18 LOL, except with maturity and responsiblity.
I've hung out with younger at times and it's nice, but sometime I see a bit of a "gap". I find it best to socialize in various age groups so that you cover all basis LOL
There's a lot of positive things that come with age, such as wisdom and experience. Those two aspects are valuable and worth more than an unwrinkled face LOL I have begun to accept and appreciate my age, but certainly enjoy moments of "playing". We can bring "youth" into our everyday life, no matter our age. If we think we are old, well we probably are LOL
You've come a long way so don't let the perspective of others get you down.
I wish you the best-
`charmed
