My son has decided he is afraid to let me out of his sight - afraid I'll leave him too. It is heartbreaking. I will continue to pray for a miracle eye opening but have to move on as if it could never happen.

He called my daughter instead to pick him up saying he had to go get some things from his step sister in a town pretty far from ours. My daughter didn't buy it and checked the other woman's house. He was there. This morning, he called me and accused me of sicking my daughter on him to find out where he was. I told him it was her who decided to do it because she could tell he was lying. We had a nice long conversation about how he is the one who decided to leave our family, and that he had to live with that decision, etc. I remained strong and steadfast. Told him that I did not want this divorce, nor do I want this divorce and that I would always love him and want him to be happy. But that the person I loved is gone and I don't know who he is now. I told him if his gf makes him happy that is good because by giving up his family and friends, she will be all he has and hopefully that will be enough. So, I am pretty much past the point of no return, however, I will continue to pray for him to truly wake up and have a real revelation, but I can't dwell on it anymore. I have to move on even tho I really want him to wake up and us to be restored as a family. With the person he is right now, that won't be able to happen. So, please continue the prayers. The two bright spots to this whole mess is that I've found how many true friends I have - TONS! I have a great support network and he can't say that at all. The other good thing - I've lost about 20 -25 lbs. But I can't recommend the divorce diet to anyone - I'd rather be fat and happy.Slop -n- Goulash: Dinner of Champions!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10609954816213004079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524352043863959090.post-80368609629265542572009-03-05T22:53:00.000-06:002009-03-05T22:53:00.000-06:00That is a ton for anyone to have to deal with.

I have missed the past 3 wks but have been staying in touch with one of my sensei (who is very wise and very spiritual and has great advice) I will be going back tonight. Have an awful head cold/cough though so I'm hoping to get thru the class w/o coughing up a lung or peeing my pants from doing so! :) And thanks for the prayers.Slop -n- Goulash: Dinner of Champions!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10609954816213004079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524352043863959090.post-34738803798901923622009-03-05T14:17:00.000-06:002009-03-05T14:17:00.000-06:00My prayers are with you...but get back to the dojo...My prayers are with you...but get back to the dojo.
