Smile doesn't have her actual picture up here anymore, but if she did you'd see why men swarm around her. Kind of like bees to honey!

your words were soo true to me that it becames scarier as I read on. I feel your pain and your confusion and so much else that you are feeling right now. Could I e mail you?

Copper,
I'm glad to see you are back...I was concerned about you...you can also do a private message to anyone on the boards by clicking on their name and then clicking on private message...that way you don't have to have their e-mail address...

Anyone heard from Copper?

chick

no i havent seen her ....

Dear found your voice,I am so sorry for your trials. I can't imagine the stress. I am trying to avoid the stress of a divorce so I keep putting it off. Having him out of the house is relief enough right now.
I am a teacher-middle school. I can't tell you how many times one of my kids would start acting up, grades fall, get quiet, get louder, many behaviors that were reaction to parents splitting up or a prolonged period of unrest in the home. PLEASE tell your children's teachers what is going on at home so teachers know how to react to their behavior. At our weekly middle school teacher meeting-sectionals-we do discuss if we see a child in trouble. Knowing what is going on at home would definitely help us set up a plan of helping the child. I know people want to keep things private but in 23 years of teaching I have never experienced any teacher discussing the parents. It's about the child-how we can help.

caloona, hey girl, welcome back. Sounds like you work for a great school! It's nice to know that there are teachers who care so much about the kids they teach. I know you're one of them.

Found Her Voice,

I'm so sorry that you are going through all of this.

I've gone through a divorce, too, but it was all over when my husband brought his girlfriend to meet me at the hospital the day after our son's birth! No contest.

I've read all of the replies you've gotten and - as always -
have read compassionate responses filled with wisdom.

My heart goes out to you and your children.

I agree with others who said that it is clear that you are doing the best you can for your children. I do hope that you are taking care of yourself, as well.

Will be checking this thread to see how you're doing.

Sending healing thoughts your way,
Emily
