DH & I have decided that I will head back north to where my family and kids are. Living the southern California way was really nice, different & I learned a new love: surfing. My SSx3 are back in NC with their ostrich head burying in the sand mother and I am on my way home. I've spent the last 8 weeks in turmoil as I've discovered not such nice things about DH; I have a new found respect for my DS25's SM, and I've met some of the most insightful, caring people who are humorous, stressed & in my mind & heart? You've become people who I shared my world with. Every time I wanted to scream at DH or SS13? I came on here, I read, I commented & I cheered you on and clucked my head when I read sadness or frustration.
Part of me wanted to run. Part of me thought I was losing my mind and thought for sure I was A: pregnant or B: starting menopause C: I needed to be medicated for something.
Well, it turns out my thyroid decided that it wasn't going to function correctly and now I'm on meds. Its going to take at least a month to regulate my hormones and mood swings, but at least it makes sense as to my madness. But I am so grateful for you all; and this site. I don't know if I'm going to be logging on once I get up there, don't know if we have internet there..but I do have my dogs & lovely turtle. Can't wait to see them all & be amongst those I hold dearest to me.
So I wish you all a lovely weekend. Perhaps I'll check in once I get up north.

If this is the end of your nightmare, then I wish you much luck and don't look back. Move on, even if that means not coming here anymore. Sometimes when we go back, it stalls our healing...and I know that every single person here only wishes that anyone who moves on from the nightmares of smotherhood truly finds their happiness for all the time they put up with such crap!!!

A big hug to you and my best wishes in your new life!

Good luck. Sometimes reading the madness fuels the fire.
Enjoy your life, your kids and pets.
That is the success of 'step recovery'.

Just getting ready to pack up the lap top; wanted to see what was going on...And I got spammed with an online store! At least it wasn't a troll, lol!
I forgot to say whether or not I was going to stay in Smotherhood or not; at this point in time? I still love my DH; just not sure if I want to be a step-momster occasionally or at all!
Time will tell..and yes; the news shows here the west coast we have monster waves! No, I'm not going to surf (still a newbie)but I would love to catch a pod of whales swimming through the harbors or channels close to where we surf...Happy Trails & thanks everybody!
