You've made me laugh, and cry and keep on reading. I can totally relate to so much of what you've written - from divorce, to parenting, to weight issues, right down to the adorable pup. Come to Wisconsin! You can stay with me - I have wine! Keep on writing my fellow bad-ass momma.

They really speak to me in so many ways right now. My soon to be ex( here's hoping) walked out on me after 23 years of marriage. He left me in a foreign country (his home country) with no way to fight for anything that is mine. Due to immigration law I had to return to the US. I have been back since May. We lived in the US for most of our marriage. Our children were born here. I am not living in a city where I know no one, and my nearest family is a 1000 miles away. I literally have what I could bring back over in a suitcase with a 50 lb baggage limit. I found a new job after being a SAHM for 15 years. I want to go back to school to get a better job. Some days, some minutes I am so hopeless. I feel like I don't fit anymore. Anywhere. As if I could just fly away like a balloon let go. How could someone I loved and cared so much about throw me away like garbage? Will it ever not hurt? Your writing gives me hope. I lost my doggies when I had to leave. My babies. But I rehomed with a lovely family, but I miss them so much! You are so very lucky to have your furry buddy. I dream of mine all the time...goodgritshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08393376068120656347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-33241188887875137002019-08-07T08:27:44.997-05:002019-08-07T08:27:44.997-05:00So true.

And why, after being smashed, stomped on and shattered by my husband's affair and abandonment..my soul still cannot stop visiting those countless moments...they were truly the happiest of my life. But now I cannot visit my beautiful memories without pain. But I still go there!

It's why we keep hanging in there with relationships that are now making us miserable as hell - because there was once a good moment, or even a long stretch of good moments, and we're hoping to find them again.<br /><br />And although Walter is not doing himself or anyone else any harm, because hey, he can still enjoy the grass, sometimes we humans have to remind ourselves that the chicken wing is gone and it's not coming back.<br /><br />Love your work!kitesandkittieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02320281582708624694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-81122933596313877972019-08-05T15:58:00.448-05:002019-08-05T15:58:00.448-05:00Love Walter!

Favorite movies, best friends, we all return to our moments of joy. May you and Walter meander through joy for a long time.Delisianoreply@blogger.com
