I'm done with what's past and putting it behind me. I don't want to write about it anymore and I don't want to read about it anymore.
I'm not in denial ..... things did not work out ..... and they did not work out majorly.
But when it was good, it was great.
And that's what I want to remember.
Remembering doesn't mean going back.
Or being willing to make the same mistake twice.
It's just ...... moving on .... with happier thoughts.
Happy Saturday, Peeps.

as always admire your honesty and strength. So glad you are having the opportunity to spend some time with your daughters! Enjoy your weekend.
Good for you Janine. I like your "Pick yourself up dust yourself off and look forward to what is ahead" attitude. Glad you have something else to occupy our mind for a few days, it will help.
Janine,
I will be praying that God sends you a friend,partner,mate,spouse whatever terms are used now days..He knows the desires of your heart and the type of man you deserve.
I have been married for 41 years and cannot begin to know what your loss and emptiness feels like.
I have followed your blog since Jim's death. Through your writing I have learned you are person who is true to herself, her family and your friends.
You DO NOT need to settle for less than you deserve.
I suspect Mr.M did not present his true self to you, and the facide was to much to keep up..Please know that you did nothing wrong to deserve the treatment you got.
The time you chose to blog maybe was not the best decision...BUT I can see why you did it at that time..to connect with your peeps and the people you know would make you feel safe..It broke my heart when I read about you sitting in the stairwell alone crying and no one to comfort you..
Please move forward cautiously..and cling to the hope you will fall in love again..real love..Until then you have 6 beautiful blessings that Our Lord has given to you and will love you unconditionly..
Enjoy your Holiday with family and friends..This time of the year is hard and can be depressing even if we are surronded by love ones..Keep a stiff upper lip..and have a stiff drink.. :)

My thoughts & prayers are with you and
Your children. Try to focus on your 6 blessings and the time you'll share together. The movie Dirty Dancing didn't Richard Gere say Nobody puts baby in a corner!

Sounds like an excellent decision, Janine! Have a wonderful visit with your kids!! My very best to all of you!

In all honesty, I think you made a smart decision. Bottom line, no matter what you did, blog at the wrong time, act like a fool in front of the family, or have an emotional melt down....none of that gives anybody the right to beat you up about it, verbally or physically. period. if he doesn't have any control of himself or self discipline or respect for you as a lady, then bye bye MrM. and stick to your guns on this, don't be fooled again by him. he will come back around,and be remorseful. he knows he lost it all. so stay strong & stay smart. You saw the true colors. there is a verse in the bible that says a double minded man is unstable in all his ways. that is so true. I found your blog some time ago & have enjoyed your adventures! You have had some tough hard times and have put your life back together with grace. I think you are going to be fine. MJB
Yay! I'm glad that you're moving on...and not looking backwards. It's almost Thanksgiving...and I'm SO glad and so thankful that you are MY sister:) I love you!
Just wanted to share one of my all-time favorite quotes with you, Janine.
"Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out."

Not easy I know, but YAY!!
Absolutely perfect! I'm proud of you. There is no need to dwell, it was something that wasn't meant to be. Cherish the good, store the lessons from the bad, and leave the rest behind.
You really are one amazing woman.

I'm sorry to hear about your struggles, and I'm sorry that you've had to suffer yet another loss. I am praying for you and proud of you for taking down those posts (got them in my reader feed & then saw that they were down) and moving on. So glad you were able to separate yourself from the abuse before you lost yourself.
