Bio
~First and foremost I am a mom! A job I love more than anything, second I am in a new job I am exploring and so far enjoy a great deal, although I have been at the entablishment for 5 years-Thankful to have a job in these trying times. At the suggestion of a dear friend, Michelle Dragoo who is also on here, she gave me the idea to start putting my writing down and enjoy what unfolds. So here I am! I had three kids in two years and lost a little bit of myself in the process but as it all unfolds, a bit of Sarah will unfold with it! Enjoy everyone! Love and blessings~

Too much time to think...On a lazy Sunday~

Rate: 6 Flag

~It has been a bit since I put anything more than a poem, etc up here...Simply because I am in a healing phase if you will....Seeking counseling, reading all that I can get my hands on about forgiveness, life after(enter adjective!) and so on...I keep my OS life if you will separate from my Facebook life and most in my personal life for fear of their negative feelings toward my writing or my "crap writing" as my mother so loving said to my face several weeks ago.  I tried to explain to her it is merely my outlet for this single mom to 3 UNDER the age 3.  Not much adult conversation in this house I must say, so I get it from other avenues and I am happy to say I have you all on OS-almost my cheerleaders if you will-so a big Thank you!  

 I deal with a lot as most of you do on a daily basis, and this is my outlet as I stated above.  I am currently seeking counseling on how to forgive/forget/move on/you name it.  Yes it is about my spouse and I, I want a divorce, he does not want another one under his belt so what is a person(women) to do.  In a few weeks time I will attempt to serve him said papers by flying oversees and doing this alone.  I am scared, scared he will say no, scared he will hold our kids as the reason to stay together.  Anyone out there been in similar situations?  Maybe I am putting too much of myself out there but I am turning to my OS family...I am scared beyond words and scared that I will forever be tormented...Even from afar.....He states he will change, but the words too little too late echo in my mind on an almost constant basis.  I have changed he said, I will cherish you as you deserve to be cherished...Are those just words? 

Scared and lonely are the words I will leave you with...

Shocks, Sarah! I'm so sorry to read this. I had no idea and thought you were a happy, stay at home mom. I wish you the best. Been down that road myself.

Thank you so much FusunA. I work full time while caring for 3 young ones on my own...Not the ideal but felt my words needed to be heard, felt, read by others...
Thank you so Phyllis 45's...:-)
You know my thoughts and feelings on this...and know you have my support always. No one can force you stay married via threats or by holding something as precious as your children over your head. It's a fight indeed to get divorced, but you are strong, and you will fight. I just know it.
I once had 3 under 3 (a set of twins) and a bad marriage. I stayed married for the sake of the kids...but by the time they were in their early teens I clearly saw that it did more harm than good. We each have our own story and have to follow our own heart. Best to you and I think you will know which path is the best one.
Thank you Trilogy...I also was blessed with a set of twins (girl,boy) then another sweet girl...
"I am scared.. .. will hold our kids as the reason to stay together. Anyone out there been in similar situations?"

Yes.. have. But..

Three under three I can not imagine. I'd lose my mind, even being a not doing shit dad... just the watching would kill me!
Kidding!!
You are blessed!

Serve him, but eave the country? To where and why?! Go to North Dakota or.. Utah. He'll never follow!

Whatever it takes though, you can get whatever protections and help you need, all readily available.
Someday, guessing three to five years, you'll be able to talk to him again.
About the back child support maybe! Hopefully not ..
SAD AIN'T IT!
Good news, it gets better... although it may take a while.. like a LONG WHILE!!!
This flying overseas to serve papers and stuff - worrisome. Hope it's not to some crazy-ass middle-east country. Do be careful.
Oh my. You are facing tough days ahead. While I certainly did not face the same obstacles you are, I've walked the single parent path since '98. Weigh you options cautiously and seek good legal council. Maybe when he sees you wont give in, he will. And you do need an outlet to vent and seek support. Blog on!
Thank you SO MUCH to you all! The kind words, words in general mean the world...Really and truly. My kids are my light, although busy as hell yes they are my sun, my moon and all things in between! When they smile they light up the room! As far as headed oversees no not a crazy middle east place and I have some wonderful friends over there for support as well! I am just nervous as hell...Nervous to stay unhappy for the next 50 years more than anything, more that I will NOT do anything about this! :/
