I watched it last night and I kept thinking "GEEZ PEOPLE GET OVER IT ALREADY." Those people on there whining and crying over something that happened 10-20 years ago. Why do people love to wallow in their own self pity??? It was like they were telling their parents "Shame on you for not providing me with the perfect childhood."
My parents divorced when I was 12, I got over it pretty quickly.
Your thoughts?
Versacrap- you’re funny, all I’m saying is grow up and move on, don’t wallow on the past. That’s how I get through the messed up things in my life. People need to realize that life is not perfect, bad things are going to happen, better not to dwell on it. And since you are standing behind my high horse, do you mind picking up the poo since you are really close to it?

My boyfriend and I recently broke up after 4 years of being together. The reasons surrounding the break up are unimportant, however, we simply disagreed on too many fundamental levels. My question is that even though it has been less than 1 week, I’m doing really well. I’m not sad, mad, lonely, or upset. For some reason I feel like something is wrong because I think I am ready to move on even though I think I should be "mourning" or "getting over him". Is it bad that I’m already moving on?
Thank you to most of the posters! One decided it was appropriate to assume that because I wasn’t mourning in self pity and loathing I didn’t have any feelings for my boyfriend or that I found another guy to cushion my fall. For that poster, I want to say that I was fortunate to understand that the relationship was unhealthy and wasn’t right for either or us considering we fought way too often about trivial things. We broke up because he wasn’t willing to support me with my career choice to become a lawyer. I want to say thank you to the other posters who helped me realize that even though I still love my ex very much it is important to remember that we didn’t work as a couple and I should take it slow; and that I am not a bad person because I’m not spending every day crying and wishing I was back with him.

Thank you again to most of the posters! (:

Having trouble communicating with daughters 12,15 & 18. I’ve been living by myself for the last year. Told I ask to many questions. Just trying to find out whats new in thier lives. Am I out of line ? Asked the 15 y.o. "how her sister was tonight" on the phone and she got lippy. 12 y.o. says she glad we didn’t get 50/50 parenting time over attemping to help her with homework. 18 y.o. suggests maybe everybody is stressed, final orders is 3 days away after over year of lawyers etc. 18 y.o. says I ask same questions"like how is everybody". I learned from that to talk about something else. still feel alot of resentment or something. Suggestions are welcome !
I didn’t and don’t want a divorce. Parental evaluator lists 4 causes of failed marriage. Communications, peri-menipause,my drinking and failing health of our mothers(both requiring lots of help (stress).
I made some poor choices drinking to cope with stress and physically assualted wife once in long, long term marriage. I’m accoutable for my choices and kids see I got help for anger, depression and alcohol (haven’t drank in 13 months, no desire). Wife just gave up, won’t even talk about reconcilliation. Justs wants divorce and vindictive and greedy. Not feeling self pity any longer, I changed because, I WAS WRONG and still love her. I know this isn’t the right thing to do, it’s out of my control. Just have faith some day she’ll talk and maybe. Any comments now ? Just want the best for kids and wife.

Going through a breakup =( want to listen to some sad songs and wallow in self pity lol. Know of any?
