Surprise Audio Tape

littlefaith@comcast.net — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 06:00:00 +0100

I found an audio tape from a friend, a letter by recorded voice. It was really interesting to hear his voice, only 13-years-old, talking to me through time and space. But what a shock, he suggests on the tape that we should use up this 90-minute tape by recording back-to-back to each other and then we could send it back and forth until the time is used up. I thought to myself, ah, surely that didn't happen, because here I have the tape.

Surprise! At the end of his talking, suddenly [...]

"It's 3 am, I must be lonely" -- Matchbox 20, 3 AM.

Can a life be judged by what can not be blogged? I think in a good life, as in a life in which a person is good, everything about her life would be fit for public consumption. But I feel furtive and evasive. I am embarrassed and mortified at my own behavior, my thoughts. I pick and choose carefully what can be set down here.

My whole life I have been loved by everyone I know. The only important person I remember rej [...]

Someone PLEASE explain it to me!

frady.kelly@yahoo.com — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 06:00:00 +0100

I need some help. Something happened today that I need someone to explain to me.

I Have written blog here before about what I've been going through. Here's an overview. My divorce will be final on January 13th. My husband and I have been apart for 6 months. The reason for the divorce is that my husband could not remain faithful. I found out that it has been unfaithful 8 times in the 10 years we were married.

You kn [...]

Generally Speaking ..... 1/5/09

It was a long day - first day back to school for the girls and my high school biology teaching husband. We were up at 5:30, well, some of us were....

I've been nervous about this day for 2 weeks. The first 2 weeks in months that I've felt good and life has had purpose. Before then I was drifting from one depressed day to another. I've been scared that I'd go back to drifting as soon as I got the girls dropped off. I'd sit on the couch waiting until they got home for dinner - [...]

Response to Reiserer's Faded Memories of Knowing Everything

My response ties back to Montessori training and a deep belief in what she called "The Universal Child". -Soapy

Broken

littlefaith@comcast.net — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 06:00:00 +0100

This year I have been picking up lots of pieces of me. They are the threads of other people's lives that were part of the tapestry of my life over the last thirty-four years. Today I'm anxiously waiting, wondering if one of those ghosts from my past will reply to me and give me a chance to heal. I feel torn and broken where certain important people were lost to me. I sound like a drama queen, and so maybe I am. Here I am, almost twenty years past the trauma, and still love and fear and g [...]

Divorce

littlefaith@comcast.net — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 06:00:00 +0100

I'm getting a divorce. According to the wikipedia, a divorce is "a legal process leading to the termination of a marriage". However, I think I'm doing something more than that. It's making a big decision to seek a different life, and as part of that decision I'm divorcing not only my husband, but also my mom and my unhappiness. I am keeping the kids. I will do whatever it takes to have the freedom to find a new person to share my life with and create a new home. I know if I take one step a [...]

I've never written a blog before, but when I found this website I decided to give it a go. First, I just want to say that I love the concept of Open2it, especially that I can express my thoughts to an intellectual community anonymously. I want to discuss some things about human nature that I have a unique (or at least unusual) perspective on. I guess that I'll find out how Open2it y'all really are. Just let me know if my topics get to be too heavy for this community.

So. . ., le [...]

An Awesome Mate

gwb@coremap.com — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 06:00:00 +0100

Even though it's been over 16 years since we were joined as one in the state of matrimony, I'm still awed by the interesting and unique things she does.

So, let me cite the latest example. This weekend my computer screen suddenly went blank. After doing some checking , it became obvious that a new monitor was necessary. So off to the Office Equipment store we go to look at the latest and greatest. < [...]

My kids

frady.kelly@yahoo.com — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 06:00:00 +0100

I have two amazing and very good children. They are loving, honest, caring and more. I can see how wonderful they are, and that's why I don't understand why my ex-husband does not see it. He has only taken the kids to his apt. two times in three months. He apparently does not understand what he is doing to the kids.

There have been so many times when he has shown up late to get the kids and even more times that he has just not shown up at all [...]

Fear will do it

frady.kelly@yahoo.com — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 06:00:00 +0100

rsr commented on my first bog that there were 4 possibilities for why people stay with cheaters. I agree. The reason I stayed was fear!!!

When my husband cheated the first time, I had just lerned that my mother had brain cancer. The last thing I needed was to be alone. I could not imagine how I would get through that by myself. Of course I told everyone that I stayed for the children, but that was out of fear too [...]

Blame it all on me

frady.kelly@yahoo.com — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 06:00:00 +0100

This is my first time writing a blog. My good friend suggested that it would be therapeutic for me to share ideas, and that others might benefit from what I have to say, so here goes.

I'm a 37-year-old mother of two amazing children (ages 8 and 4) that mean the world to me. After 10 years of marriage, about 3 months ago I found out that my husband was cheating on me AGAIN. I got the news via text message. No, it was not a text from his girlfri [...]
