    ODAT - Thursday

    Got this lovely email from Uni so, as her official representative on MWO, I thought I'd pass it on to start the thread.

    So it's about 11:30 pm here. My daughter and I (she's 7) have had a great day today. At the pool, played volleyball and badminton, it's been nice. She's sleeping now, I'm on my deck just relaxing. Will probably have another beer or 2 but not worried cause I'm not really interested in more.

    BF is coming up tomorrow for the day and night and Saturday I have some friends coming to visit as well but I will be babysitting a 5 year old so I have to be clear headed. Funny, you would thing on vacation it would be hard for me but last time I had a harder time when I got back from the cottage. Hope that doesn't happen this time.

    Tell everyone I said hi - hope greeny is doing well (worried about her husband issues) and hope that captn is still on the ODAT thread as he makes it all reality and humerous for us all. And I know there are a million others, hope MA(cowgal) is hanging in before her trip to Lenair. Tell everyone I said hi and miss them dearly - just let them know I love them and am thinking of them.

    I hope you are doing well too. You always start the thread and give us basics but I always wonder if anyone ever really asks how you are? I think of you often and truely hope YOU are okay. And if you need to vent? Let me know. I'll listen. You have been a good "cyber friend" to me. I hope I can repay the favour.

    Love you and think of you more than you know - hope all is well, All my thoughts, love and heart, Uni
    The penultimate paragraph actually bought a tear to my eye. So sweet as I am not really doing very well at the moment for one reason and another but I really don't want to whinge here as it is all stuff I can just need to get my head around. I'll get over it and pick myself up. In the same 24 hours I got a lovely PM from Evie (thank you) and a package from Greeny with the baseball hat in and another 'special item'!!! So I do feel uplifted by everyone's care and support.

    Anyway, have a lovely day all.

        Well, then, Bessie.... I'll just do the whining for both of us. I had a crappy night's sleep again. I have to plaster that fake persona on and go to work while I watch my lying hubby interact with his partner in crime under my nose, both pretending nothing is going on. Yeah, yeah, I know.... eveybody says he is getting what he deserves. Which may be true, but I still feel the rejection from time to time. He deserves better than the life he is making for himself. I fear for him and his well being, but I guess is ts a path he must take. I'm glad I don't have to take it with him. I truly am fortunate to be seeing this through sober eyes and fortunate to have you all here and my friends that I can "see and touch" to support me. Everyone is careful to keep a close eye on me in terms of the closure of this part of my life and to make AL does not whisper to me or try to hold my hand. I feel very cared for in spite of the sense of abandonment that lurks, and that is good. It gives me a sense of peace and security which helps me navigate. I think one of the things I resent most is the way he damaged my radar. A person's radar (or mine anyway) is how they navigate thier life and how they sense things and know them to be true (that "knowing feeling"). Evielou knows what I mean. Then another person makes great manipulative efforts towards destroying the person's faith in their own radar system, creating doubt and confusion. That is so very wrong to do to someone. I guess he does deserve what he gets.

        I think of Cindi and her Lenair post. I think while I experienced success with alcohol (altlhough I do think of it from time to time), especially under these extenuating circumstances, Rhonda also gave me the strength and empowerment to face my situation. Or somehow opened my eyes to my own inner strength. I toyed with the idea of returning for assistance in reducing the trauma but they discouraged it if I didn't really need it. I may not. I seem to have come home from Lenair with a new pair of BGP (big girl pants for those who don't know BGP).

        Well, that wasn't so whiney as it was self-absorbing. Thanks for listening and do have a good day. Keep your peepers open soak in the goodness of today's life. :l

                          Morning all... Bessie, Green, do keep faith, and courage, and plain old persistence going, you are strong and there are so many people here pulling for you! The struggle is WORTH IT.

                          OneTwo, same message and my very best wishes for this evening and the challenge of the bottle of vodka. Maybe when you look at it, you can look at it as your enemy, visualize it as as someone who wants to hurt you... (but of course not making horrible faces at it, in front of your friends, as they would be alarmed, no doubt!!)...

                          best wishes, all

                              Morning ODATers

                              Aaaagghhh. I'm a maudlin idiot. Feel like horse crap this morning but ready to climb back on the sucker. That will be no problem today.

                              Thanks for all the bright wishes, everybody. Bessie and Green, hang in there. You are both amazingly strong.

                              Day One, here we go! Have a good day, all. Alley
