Wow, does it ever. Eight months since I wrote, and what a busy eight months it has been. I have been working hard on re-cementing old friendships and such in the Louisville area, as well as separating myself (legally and figuratively) from my felonious soon-to-be-ex-husband. In the process, I have redetermined the goal of regaining custody of my two younger children, my Tier-bear and Eri-Berry. I have serious concerns about some of their emotional care in recent months. All I can do is hope that can regain custody of them before the taks of helping them recover gets too much harder.
I have had the unfortunate experience of being forced to realize that when you take the high road of not talking badly about an ex, you run the risk of them being the only one informing your friends about what happened. I have realized that I have lost a couple of really close friends because I chose to keep my mouth shut rather than disillusion them regarding people they thought they knew well. I suppose my attitude has to be that if they had really cared to know the truth, they would have worked until they got the information out of me. Those that did know the other side of the story now, and are at least able to better discern what they want out of a future relationship with me.
Anyway, some of the best news is that after 17 years of dancing around the bush, a long time love of mine and I are finally truly united. We will be married as soon as it is legal, and I hope that those who love us will rejoice with us at our union. I struggled with the decision to join myself to anyone again, but this joining is one that I am walking into with eyes wide open, having experienced friendship and love both with this man, and being able to really trust for the first time in a long time that any hurts will be unintentional.
So, that is what is going on in the world of SaraSometimes...hopefully I will make the length of time between posts a lot shorter next time.
Love, Sara
