There I was, 35 years old, divorced with two kids. I felt like such a statistic. It's been 11 years now and it's like I don't even remember even being married - except for the kids. Soon you're going to love the single life again! Time does help ... each day will get just a little better.

Odd, unless one thinks that this is what is causing the rebellion. It is a classless gesture to intentionally make a stand that would potentially hurt someone else. The person doing that has made themselves no longer worthy of anyone's sympathy or respect.

Have yourself a daisies and roses divorce. I'm sure it is all happiness and light. I'm sure you wish your ex nothing but the best. Isn’t divorce FUN? I’m sure we should all try it. OK ADMIN?? Is that white-bread enough for your gentle sensibilities?
Originally Posted By LuLu I wish you all the best, Labuda. I totally agree with tink62, it's the loss of "what could have been." But it's OK, you get over it, you make a new person of yourself, better for life's experiences. It's OK to grieve, and when you're ready, life will be better than ever!

Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter The administrators here do an excellent job of keeping the swearing and inappropriate stuff off the boards.

You have lots of support here and in your "real" life, and I know better times are ahead.

What's up with that?>> Which post... the one that was redlined or the one where I complained about it being redlined? I was certainly irritated when I complained about my post being redlined, but obviously that irritation was not directed at Labuda and I said so. As for the initial post, I do not believe it was out of line at all and feel it was extremely supportive of Labuda. If you feel otherwise, please let me know and I will accept that I made a post that was read in a way other than what I intended.
Originally Posted By Labuda Wow, so now I'm hoping you can email me what the initial post said, trippy. It does make me feel better to know that it was from you - as I know for a FACT that you'd not post anything nasty or hurtful to me. And, thanks again, all - as for me, yeah, it's a bit of a bummer to be a statistic now (35 and divorced, but thank TPTB that I have no children with that loser), but I ALSO feel great to know that I'm still (relatively) young, and have my whole life ahead of me.

It primarily said I've been there and done that and knew what you are going through. I probably described my ex-wife negatively in terms that offended the sensibilities of ADMIN. But of course both you and I know that our ex's DESERVE to be described that way. ;-) Oh well. I guess ADMIN has never been divorced. At any rate, you have my best wishes for a great future. I've now been married to my wonderful Rosie for 30 years, and none of that would be possible if the marriage to my $*@W>NSLFO:#HR(P*OW#H%:ir@#wFKJBWS ex-wife had lasted. The junk is probably what led to my prior post being admined.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip ^^^ No need to apologize. That is what happens when posts get redlined. All of a sudden other posts lose their context. Oh well. I probably posted words that would pass muster in World Events but not in Community. My bad.

From what I've seen through the years, you're fun, bright, have tons of wonderful interests, and, although I can't remember seeing a picture, the one in my head is of someone very attractive to all the people around her.
Originally Posted By tinkerbell1962 Labuda, You are NOT a statistic!!! When I posted the "statistic" comment it was related to being a single parent. You have such an amazing journey ahead of you now! I hate to admit it, but I've come to embrace the single life. And yes, I'm loving it now that my kids are teens and are off doing their own thing. It's great doing whatever we, or I, want to do. If the dishes sit in the sink overnight, so what. And, even when I was married I did a lot of the "husband" duties such as taking out the trash / gassing up and washing the car. Now I just have less laundry to do. BTW, my ex is currently on wife #4. He's such a dork.
