Anonymous wrote:My general bucket list includes Iceland, New Zealand, an African Safari, and Glacier National Park. But as a newly single mom with young kids, I'm probably not tackling those in the next few years (for both budget and chasing 2 kids around alone reasons).
Iceland with a friend might be doable while the kids are with their dad. It's somewhere I've always wanted to go. When I was a kid we used to fly Iceland Air to visit family in Europe and I always wanted to add the stopover and we never did. I went to the photo exhibit about Iceland at the Natural History Museum last week and it really reinforced wanting to go!
My daughter is obsessed with going to the beach this summer, and we have some friends who are planning a beach house, so that will probably be our summer trip.
We'll probably end up at Disney world in the next 5 years too. But that's not really a bucket list thing.

And I appreciate that you acknowledge the need for guidance/assistance in overcoming your current emotional state. None of us have the knowledge or strength to deal with all that life throws at us and getting the help we need really is the first step to positive change. Since you have seen positive change in your husband resulting from his therapy hopefully that will encourage you to try that for yourself. Maybe as a first step you might be willing to call a counseling help line. I highly recommend the Focus on the Family counseling line at 855-771-HELP (4357) because it is free and you speak with a licensed counselor. Please don't let the fear of that first step keep you stuck in this emotionally shutdown mode. Take care!
Thank you. I appreciate it.

That is horrible. I feel sad this happened to you.
If you had any regrets with how you treated a friend this past year, what would they be? My biggest regret is unfriending someone without talking with him first. I know I hurt him.

That is so horrible! Your dad and your aunt couldn't find other people? If your dad and your mom needed to split, well sometimes that happens. But what a betrayal.
We like to keep it in the familyluckily I grew up nonjudgemental so accepted that my dad was happier with my aunt/step-mom. It was nice to see him smiling again.
I do judge people who have two paths to happiness: one that involves hurting another and one that does not, and then choose the path of hurt. I'm okay with being that kind of judgmental. He could have found someone who wasn't already part of your family to make him smile. But it is healthier for you emotionally to find a way to accept the new structure of your family, so I'm glad you were able to do that. What happened wasn't your fault and it wouldn't be fair for you to have to carried the pain and sadness of the situation.
It was horrible on my brother and I, mostly because my parents hated each other after the split - still do. My mom was devastated but she didn't really love my dad. If I think about it, she was emotionally abusive towards my dad. The hatred did affect me, which is why I took longer than most people to move along my career trajectory,

I will always be there for my friends.
