status quo

Well, everything's still falling out underneath me. He has now disappeared to somewhere unknown, does not return calls or emails, and his stuff is still here. I did manage to get an email from him this morning though telling me he'll be back "in a week or two" to get all of his things.

I never thought that this would be my life.

It's complete hell being here in "our" apartment . . with no family or friends anywhere. I'm all alone and feeling very down and depressed.

And no . . I haven't been able to even consider knitting. I'm wondering if I should just shut down this blog.

I am sorry that everything feels like it's spiraling. I know the feeling and it sucks. However, the last thing you should do is disconnect. Especially since you said that you have no family or friends where you are. At least here you have people who care about you and who will be there to talk if you need them.

oh, leslie.
hope things are getting better around there.
you have to just remember that you will probably be better without that relationship.
be well, friend.

jamie:

I have been thinking of teaching a woman (who is having a very rough summer) how to knit because it is such a time consumer, and that is what she needs right now(I thought). It is her first summer of having her kids gone (with their dad) after a divorce. Are you not knitting because you are busy packing, or grieving? I got divorced seven years ago, and you will you will you will come through it and you will be stronger and have a good sense of what is right for you afterward!

So sorry to hear you're going through such a hard time. Cyber-hugs to you.

Don't do anything rash...men are jerks (would use a stronger word here); don't let him ruin your life. I know you feel like he has already and you don't want to believe it, but things will get better...maybe it will be slow, but it will get better. Email if you want to chat some more.

Oh no you musn't shut down your blog - you've still got your blog friends.

Do you have any telephone counselling/ advice lines where you could talk to someone who would just listen when you needed to talk? It must be very difficult without any family or friends nearby.

If you could bear it, do you think it might be an idea to sort out his things into a spare room so that you weren't always being reminded that he wasn't there?

Remember we're here for you.

I am thinking of you, Leslie, and sending hugs your way.
