Then the holidays are just plain scary.<br />The saints all seem to be in places like Alanon, the healing arts, Buddhist temples, spiritual retreats, et al. Maybe actively finding love is in those places gives one a chance at "real love"?<br />I know someone who remarried at 80 after her alcoholic husband died (she is now 90). She is very, very happy (and even gets doted on imagine that!). There is always hope!

I am taking some time and going back and reading all your old posts. Please keep writing - you are touching a nerve here and talking about stuff that I have never seen in print.<br />I feel the same way about V-day, and in fact I think your idea of 2 marriages in a lifetime is bang on.<br />To get me through the month of February, I have chosen that my favorite day is Groundhog Day - makes me hopeful for spring and new beginnings. When I watch that movie - Groundhog Day - and see that the repeated insanity can actually finally be broken, I feel hopeful. It's just a movie, but hey, hope springs eternal.<br />Best, <br />-SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759421079279172044.post-84584630373041474512014-02-20T11:21:52.716-05:002014-02-20T11:21:52.716-05:00I hear you so well - and sometimes even those late...I hear you so well - and sometimes even those later marriages are entered into without the alcohol being present at first, but oh does it come storming in.Wife Goes Onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410026629281514658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759421079279172044.post-73174667912921805292014-02-20T11:01:49.913-05:002014-02-20T11:01:49.913-05:00i wish you freedom...i wish you freedom...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14240651986099684881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759421079279172044.post-63188466548622157742014-02-20T00:59:33.652-05:002014-02-20T00:59:33.652-05:00A silent bow to your writing and authentic voiceA silent bow to your writing and authentic voicem.leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07604658248329366448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759421079279172044.post-90151046055214251722014-02-19T12:05:45.613-05:002014-02-19T12:05:45.613-05:00Hear hear.

Wow......You always seem to speak my thoughts Linda. Wow... amazing!! I am here for better or worse. I don't expect people to understand, sometimes I still don't understand, but just respect my decision. So many of these things run through my mind all the time, that it's hard enough on me to stay, let alone to think about what other people think of me because I do. Thank you for the bright spot in my day, and for all you do to make sure we all know that we aren't alone in this craziness!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09276943496857141769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759421079279172044.post-72213381760992257972014-02-19T09:27:28.495-05:002014-02-19T09:27:28.495-05:00You always seem to speak my thoughts Linda. Wow......You always seem to speak my thoughts Linda. Wow... another great post. How do you read my mind? I am here, for better or worse, and I don't expect everyone to understand that, but to respect it would be wonderful.
