Cause I've reached the end of my rope this week and I am about to lose it. So damn frustrated and tired of always being the one to get screwed.
When does this end!??! I'm ready to just let go of this damn rope already...

I'm right there with you PurpleRose! Been a rough week. If STBXWW gets anything close to what she's seeking in the temporary support order, i'm going to have to get a part time job (in addition to my regular full time job) or just quit eating just to stay in the black on the balance sheet!
So far i'm learning there is nothing 'just' about the 'justice system'!
Tie that knot and don't let that mother f*#&@r see you sweat!

Just keep holding on. It will get better. It just takes...(insert dreaded 4-letter word - time).
I know, I know. You know that. But you haven't gotten there yet, and you're wondering how the fuck will you ever get there.
It will happen. Because you're stronger than you know. Because you'll tie that damn knot and hold on. And right when you think you're going to have to let go, this army of SIers will boost you back up, and hold you up until you're ready to hold on again.

(((((PurpleRose))))) I hear you. In the beginning, you think the A is the WORST of it. Oh no no no no ... it's the thousands of shit sandwiches we (kids included) are forced to eat.
How about I hold on to the bottom of the rope and you can stand on my shoulders! DO NOT LET GO!! HUGS HUGS HUGS!!

Lordy, I SO understand that one.
Just keep breathing, honey. In and out. And while you're breathing, hop down to Fun & Games and find a laugh or two. Or maybe just an eye roll.
Did we mention it's wine thirty?

I hear ya. It's been one of those weeks for me as well. Exhausting, frustrating... I was actually getting annoyed with my job because I actually had to go in and do it! I would have much rather stayed in bed and wallowed in my misery, believe me.
Hang in there. I hope you can relax a bit and enjoy the weekend. I fully plan on it before the next wave of crazy hits...

The ability to find happiness in the smallest of things can help you get through even the toughest times.
Hoping you find moments of joy in those small things. A flower, a smile, a laugh from a kiddo, catch those moments and hold on to them. Regardless of what is going on around us - all we have is right now.
Sending love light and peaceful moments to you!

(((PurpleRose))) Hang in there. I have had a rough week too and I can't get over the injustices of the situations we all face but we have to believe that it will get better.
Keep your head up...

No advice. I've been there too many times myself and I have no idea how I've held on sometimes....but I did. You will too. The worst will be over soon. Keep your goal in the crosshairs, and hang on honey.
If necessary, duct tape your hands right above the knot in that damned rope.
Sometimes the hardest part of finally seeing through someone is accepting what you see...
God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to
change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me.

Lord knows I was there for along time. Then I FINALLY got pissed (it took several people close to me to get me there but I finally did after many melt downs). I didn't get everything but I got a hell of lot more than FT thought I would.
Find those bitch pants and shoes and don't let up on him. Put him on the defense. Let him worry what your next legal move will be.
I had FT so stressed that he ended up having a heart attack. FUCK HIM ! He didn't care if I had a roof or ate when him and his attorney were playing their games with me.
I won only a couple battles in court but they were BIG !
I ended up driving the divorce and you can too.
Big Hugs and you are NOT alone !

It's my life now, my choices, my mistakes to make and my victories to celebrate. His choices made me free of liars and betrayers in my life. That is priceless.

Hang on, PR!!!!
Figure out your worst case scenario for everything...it sucks having to think about it but then again, everything about D sucks big sweaty donkey balls.
Then make your best case scenarios and ask for more.
Prepare for the worst. Ask for more than you are going to get and FTG.
You may be surprised. I wanted all of ex-shat's 2012 tax return. I expected nothing. I got half.
Ex-shat only wanted to give me 6 months to refinance house. I said 2 years or take me to court. I got the 2 years.

I finally had to let go of the rope and see where I landed. Turned out I was only inches from "the bottom", anyway. So my advice is, unless you're talking about self-harm or criminal activity, just let go.
