Oh sweetie – that sucks!

Divorce is hard enough on its own. If my family held it against me I would have to fess up some of the things I never told them about my EX.
I have major teeth issues – hereditary. It is so outrageous how much it costs!

Lets hear it for Boston snuggles!!!!!!!!!!

Your boyfriend isn’t going on the Cruse with you X-husband, is he?

a divorce two years ago? for some reason i thought you were very young, only 20 or 21? that’s not right of them to do that to you, i guess they really loved your ex?

i hope everything turns around and things start getting better!

Sorry to hear about your tough times. That’s insane that you were with your ex for 6 months and your Mom chose him over you!

When I feel sad or upset, there is nothing in the entire world that brings a smile back like my bunnies

My Mom drives me nuts in the same way!  I am still married- though sometimes I wonder why!  My Mom treats my husband like another child in regards to gift giving and even emotionally.  When we have problems she is so unsupportive of me- but she says conflicting things “wow, you just can’t throw 14 years away, can you?”  “if you leave him you might lose your house”  followed by “Do you think he is lying to you?”  “People like that never change unless they want to, and not always even then.”.   I have learned to NEVER call my Mom when I have been devastated by something my husband has done- it only makes me feel worse.

I don’t think my Mom believes in divorce, but I think she is also smart enough to realize that sometimes there is no option.  I got married when I was young- 19 years old- because she would have disowned me for living with a guy.  And since my husband had to move to go to a real college (not community college) it involved moving 5 hours away- and there was nothing there for me anyway. 

Sometimes I think she is “punishing” me for getting married so young- but then I wonder does someone have to pay for a “mistake” for all their life (her not supporting me leaving him).  We don’t have any kids- so that is no part of the reason.  Maybe she knew I was happy to escape her by getting married and moving away.

So I know how you feel at times!   At least you have Boston for hugs and snuggles (snuzzles) and you only at worst you are only being manipulated for a craisin or papaya tablet!  Maybe that is why we all love bunnies so much- their “grand master plan” is not much of a secret.  And we would give them craisins and treats anyway- even if they did not beg with their sad faces.

allenj1,
I’m so sorry you’ve had such a hard time. You really are a very sweet, cheerful person because I would never have guessed it from your great posts – like your Xmas pix of Boston and your BF and you. And the way you nursed Boston through head tilt – I think you’re doing just great and I could use some of your coping skills. Boy, do you have a right to rant.

I bet your Ex. has lots of faults in common with your Mom so she relates to him. Maybe she divorced you before you caught on and divorced her, too.

As for the cruise – well, you currently have custody of the BOSTON. I say, you change the locks and make a deal before he gets back in the house. Like round trip tickets to a vacation spot (with soft food for easy chewing.). Maybe you’ll let him come, or just take Boston instead.

Well! I say “He gets a cruise, You get a bunny!” Sounds logical. Hope things turn for the better for you.

Oh Justina, I am so sorry to hear of your troubles. I tell you what…never mind your mom, I’ll adopt you! ^_^ You seem to me to be such a wonderful young lady, I can’t imagine how anyone, never mind if it’s your mom, could be so snarky! Some moms are just that way though. My grandmother (mom’s side) was the youngest of about 8 kids and she was a surprisingly selfish child and adult, she made my birth mom’s life miserable and to this day I have trouble with my mom as the mental damage her mom did to her has trickled down to our relationship. I am lucky I didn’t grow up with her though, so I count my happy stars.

Petzy, I totally empathize with the out in the wilderness thing. Someday I’ll post about how the hubby left me and the kids (aged 3 and 5) for two weeks here in our new home in the boondocks of Alaska alone while he went to drive all our stuff up from California. What a nightmare THAT was!

lolz…my hubby is always talking about “when he gets rich-we’ll go on a great vacation together.” I’m thinking, if I have to leave my bunnies behind, how great can it be? So…. lmao…

All that medical stuff…urgh! I still have almost 20 K in medical bills from my chemo and stuff, and up here they charge about 2 K for a crown (honestly, they should pay me for having to put up with the pain, and the hours in the chair and the dry mouth, and…) so I totally empathize with that. I have a year until I can even think of being insured again. What a pain!

I have to take my hat off to you all, you do fabulously despite your challenges. I am impressed and you have my sympathies for sure. In fact, I think you all beat my black cloud off with a stick!

Justina…Boston = love! ^_^

Oh yuck! When it rains it pours!!
My parents like Dave so much I’m sure I’d get the same treatment if we broke up You can’t choose your family (unfortunately). *hugs* Like we all say, your great so the problem must be her! And she’s not being fair-it’s not your perception, your right.

And you know other then a few good stories, I’ve heard nothing but bad about cruises-you have to pay for everything, service is bad etc. etc. Shall we cross our fingers he does not enjoy it ?

*hugs* things will look better soon!!

sorry to hear you have so many frustrations to contend with! (((hugs))) glad you got a chance to rant about them… it can make all the difference can’t it?

^^if you’re wondering what post above is…it’s example of quoting gone very wrong!

Serious? Well they tattoo they fixed bunnies so you’d be getting both a tatt and bunny…

There you go! Make the most of it all, get your best girls around and live it up!

Wow, how did I miss this post? Justina, I’m sorry things are so crap for you at the moment! I hate it when my bf goes on holidays without me. He went to see his ex girlfriend for 3 weeks over Christmas and New Year so that really sucked! I totally understand the feeling of being left out.

I think you have so many reasons to rant! I’m amazed at your strength and that this has been below the surface. You always seem so happy go lucky, so I’m sorry everything is crap for you at the moment. My sister always tells me that things get better, they always get better because I complain to her that sometimes I feel like I”m from that song “Living on the love of the common people” so hopefully everything will get better for you soon! You seem to be in a really happy relationship, with a wonderful bunny child except on the (possibly) rare occasions bf goes on a cruise without you!

Actually hopefully everything will get better for everyone soon.

Try not to be too concerned with the parents. We all grow up with TV perfect examples of families with supportive parents and great siblings. The truth is usually much different. I don’t get along well with my folks either, and we tend to ignore each other completely. I’m ok with this cause otherwise they drive me completely crazy. My folks kicked me out of home when I was really young and disowned me but I know now that it’s their issue and nothing to do with me. If it’s an issue your mum has, you can’t help it and it’s better just to not worry about her. She might come around, or you guys might just never have a good relationship. I know my Dad hasn’t spoken to his Mum properly in over 20 years! They manage (and my grandmother is evil so I understand).

Go margaritas! Yum!

Oh I know nothing would have happened. Her family would actually, really actually have killed her if she wasn’t a virgin when she married. Arranged marriage too. So everytime I think my family is screwed up, I think of this girl. Sweet as pie this girl is too!
