Topic: Personal update Posted: 19 Oct 2017 at 6:39am |
My thoughts and prayers. I wish I could tell you that divorce was easy but, I can't. It's going to hurt for while and there will likely be more down days than up. Over time, this will slowly begin to change. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and try to stay busy/focused on something else. |

Thoughts and prayers to you, it's always darkest before the dawn, and there is always a dawn.

Doug, prayers sent your way. Through personal experience I have benefited often from the prayers of others. There is much power in prayer. Back in 1990 I was given a 40% chance of survival from an aggressive form of testicular cancer. The doctors told me to get my 'papers in order' as they saw little chance for survival. However, through the grace of God and many of His servants praying, I was spared inevitable death for awhile, as I am still alive 27 years later, for which I thank Him for. And He will see you through this as well. Trials and difficulties we all have and we either grow bitter or better as a result. I pray your result will be the 'better' path. Thank you Doug for all you have done and given to this forum. You have much yet to do, there are a lot of members here who will be pulling and praying for you, remember that and please, keep us updated. Thanks

Thoughts and prayers. Sorry to hear about the divorce. For what little it's worth, mine was probably just about the most difficult time I ever went through but it was also almost definitely the best thing that ever happened in my life.
Best I can tell, everyone's divorce is different, but almost everyone gets through the process and ends up in a better place. All the best. TT |

Sorry you have to go through all that, but you will emerge a stronger, more knowledgeable person. "That which does not kill us will make us stronger"! Prayers.

Doug, Sorry to hear your situation, but good on ya for putting it out there. Not something to be shameful about and hide. Times will get much better, from my common experience. Same as you, divorce shock with two teenage daughters in the mix, over a decade ago. My now grown daughters and I are so close today even though we live miles apart. They both called me today. It is very good with me and my girls. I feel like a very successful dad, and they prove it in their lives. Hernia, dual inguinal surgery, I had that done last year. Eclipse, yep, I watched it from my back deck. Hang in there. Above all, hold in the anger from your kids view. You have done a lot of good things, and I have no doubt you will continue to help people. I watched a movie years ago when I was feeling like you do now that helped me in an oblique way. I even bought it and watch it yearly. Maybe you might benefit too. It has a lot of life metaphor's in it if you dig deep enough. Consider watching "An Unfinished Life" as you go through "Manopause". (That's what I called my unpleasantness). Prayers from me in Wyoming for your tough times. Prayers have power. There is another happier side coming for you, it just takes awhile. In fact it all happens way to slow at the first part of the process when you are wanting it to all be over with so you can move forward. Best regards |

I'm about to take another extended break from Facebook. While I like the R-Pod group and the Legion group and VFW group, it is all the other stuff that comes with it that I dislike intensely. While this forum is not perfect (posting pictures is not exactly easy), I don't like handing my photos over to Facebook. My home photo hosting is working well.
I'm really sorry to hear about the bad things and will lift up a prayer for you and your family. |

Wow. Sorry for all the troubles. But I will comment that FB will suck out anything else from your life. I just won't do FB. Period.
