Yes, sweety (kathryn), anything and it's ok.  I heard so many things in my life thru many of my friends so it's fine with me.   So go right on ahead vent all you want.  I did same only not married to this person so I was glad now I have the most wonderful lifeso do my kids (they're adults now).   I'm listening.    

Ooooo, you mean I can vent about anything going on in my life?

Be careful what you ask for.....Candy!!   

I have no  issues about my ex or failed relationship, except that now I'm completely responsible for my own life. There is no support ....alimony or other wise from my ex and actually I'm ok with that. I signed off everything we ownded jointly and I didn't ask for half.....which is CA law. I wasn't  purposely  being merciful. Two of my girls still live with him, as well as two of my grandaughters and my animals are there, and I just couldn't displace all them , because I wanted out.

I don't have a pot to you know what in, but I'm relatively happy and would do the same thing again.

    Dear kathryn,  I don't mind being your friend if it's ok with you.   We always need someone to talk to or hang out with.   Especially here where you can meet so many of us.   I was like you at first had no one then I one day decided to join them and here I am to say you will love it.   This is the greatest place to be.   So girl, you can try joining the Coffee Shop, the Front Porch, and lots of others.   Just search some more of these site here, ok.  Then let me know how you do if you want to, take care, bye.   

Kath, if you feel the need to vent this is the perfect avenue. There are many who share your story, or one similar. Letting go of the hurt and confusion is an important step in healing. It was once said that we share more with strangers than with friends. That might have more to do with biases, vulernerbility, trust, and judgements than anything in the world. Writing and seeing those words are very cleansing.

I hope you have a good day and a wonderful week.

My marriage was not ALL bad, other wise I couldn't have stayed for 33yrs., even with being dependent on him financially. We both focused on our children.  The 33yrs. is passed, history, and I have no bitterness. I'm proud of myself for staying because of our vows ( to a point ), and proud that I knew when to end it. There is no point in rehashing events that took place in those passed years.

The relationship is a learning experience too..

I would like to stay here for a bit, in case someone wants to .....I don't know .....ask questions or just be friends?

Have a wonderful day Candy.

 Hi there, Kath1948,  Whatever the problem was go right ahead and speak sweety I'm listening.   I was in an abusive one and got him out of our lives, he is now a homeless man.    No matter the subject talk, I'm here.    See you later, bye.
