Scottish Lass, I wrote a long post, but then it got lost in cyber space. When that happens, I usually feel it was meant to be lost. So I will just add my empathy (been there, done that) and support to the others.

You are getting divorced. It is a long emotional process, and you will come out okay in the end. I know that because you are strong and determined, and you won't give up. I know your daughters will be okay because they have you.

Thanks for sharing with us. I hope it helped. Don't expect miracles out of yourself. You are doing okay for where you are, and here's to a better February.

SL - not sure if you will read this before Friday - your time.
First congratulations on 24 days. Not to be sneezed at. You have the commitment to being AF and thats your clear goal - so now its how you get to this.

Many of us here know how messy divorce is. Your story is very painful. I too have been through 2 divorces - one very messy when I was young. No kids though. Lots and lots of horrible deception by him. Also money worries for me. Thats when I started to turn to AL.
You haven't yet been able to resolve even the practicalities of your divorce - let alone all the emotional pain (or so that seems to me -pardon if I am wrong).

Its also often at times like our children's birthdays that we get weepy and sad. Thats because we love them so so much and I can see that in the way you write about your girls. We don't want them to feel pain or be ashamed of their Mums. We want to protect them and make everything wonderful - at least for a day (again I might be way-off so apologies).I myself, often get messed up at these emotional times - at the very times I should be happy and celebratory. Plus it can be exhausting in the anticipation leading up to an event. In the past I often drank too much the night before (not actually at) the event. And it all adds to the emotional mix - the depression.

So SL I do hope that the day/night got better for you. Its a new month on Saturday. You have Team SL for an AF SL (all those initials!!!) here. We are cheering you on!
