I’m completing my last semester in a graduate program, up for a promotion, divorce settlement should pay off the debt I had to take on during divorce, I’m finally free of resentment, and excited about a new relationship that is on the horizon with an old flame I reconnected with.

I remember reading about someone who came to DCUM crying about their life, and later posted how their life changed. She had left, remarried, and had a new baby she was welcoming. It was my inspiration to not sit in circumstances that had a dead end.

Oh, and I also am curious to know what happened with the AP on that trip. OP said it was a juicy update then ghosted us lol

The tide has turned!

Wow - this is fantastic to read. I remember your thread. I'm tremendously impressed with what you've accomplished - good for you!!! (And thank you for letting us know!)

I asked what happened to our old passports for the kids, when our new ones arrived. DCUM said to sit tight, they would come. And they did, y'all, about a week later, in a separate fed ex.

The OP who was pregnant and considering going to India to have the baby because of health insurance issues in the US and financial issues. Plus she would have had more support in India from family/ nannies.

The replies were so good and OP stayed engaged for quite awhile but then I think the thread got deleted

I wanna know what happened to the OP who posted that she was planning to leave her toddler in the US to go on a 3 week vacation in Asia. OP I think insisted that canceling was not an option and for some reason bringing the toddler was also going to be semi-impossible.

Her child was going to be cared for by grandparents who had never kept her overnight before.

That OP - or someone posting as that OP - did come back and post that she asked her DH and he said he’d gotten tired driving home so checked into a hotel.

I'm the OP of the large thread about my sister who found her birth mom through an ancestry test. I think it's given her peace to find her family. Depressing though. A good half of them are in jail. Her grandpa, uncle and father have been in prison nearly all her life. I think it's made her appreciate the normalcy of my family. She has other siblings which stings me a little but I'm happy for her.

This is so wonderful to hear!

I remember you & my heart absolutely broke reading your thread.
I'm so glad to read that you've gotten away from that toxic relationship & you're doing so well.

OP, I thought of you when I clicked on this thread. Thank you for updating. I’m so glad things are better for you.

I often think about the “Hug your child tonight” thread. The OP did post an update at one point, but it’s been at least a few years since then.

I’d love to hear updates from the AMA Cancer Patient and the AMA Uber driver....

I want to know what happened with the OP whose husband was in a play, and he had to practice kissing his theater friend to rehearse for the play.

I also want to know what happened with the Op who said her friend might kidnap a neglected dog who was always in a yard.

I want to know if the lady who was 4 days over due ever had her baby.

What name the mom who likes basic baby names, but doesn't want to use a top 50 name, chose for her daughter.

I'm curious what happened to the OP whose DS left his Target bathing suit at a friend's swim party last summer right before they had to go on a beach vacation.

I had over 250+ paid sex partners. Since the thread ended, I haven't had any new encounters.

She did report back. She decided to believe his bs excuse about getting tired. She said she was too old to deal with it.
