Hey CF,

Well, You know when you go through life and you feel like everything is going against you....and you think there is no end to all the curve balls that get thrown at you. Well this last year was like that. My wife and I have come to the conclusion that we've hit rock bottom and it's so tough to stay positive and keep moving forward. Then I sit up at night watching TV and you see all these self help adds and these positive people on the tube telling you how they made it and you can too. Some times these people make me sick, but I also wonder if a positive attitude really does make difference. I have always been the type that if I get knocked down I just get up and keep moving forward, but at some point you have to wonder why is it that you keep getting knocked down.....is it something I'm doing wrong...or is it that I'm just attracting those type of situations....you know, is it that I just bring all this on myself????????? (maybe I just need to learn some "Bobbing and Weaving")

I start to wonder....and it drives me nuts....I feel like I'm getting to old to still be having all these troubles and set backs....Does this happen to everyone, no matter how old you are?..........I always figured that this would be something that you would grow out of, but up until this point I guess I still haven't.......I just can't figure it out...

I grew out of a lot of the stupid $shit I used to do before and it did improve my life at that time.....so I guess I'll just keep trying to make thing better and stay positive, but DAMN it just gets harder as you get older......

I guess what I'm trying to say is "Does anybody else ever feel this way too?????"

Sorry I guess I just had to vent a little........
 
Life is curve balls and pit falls. It happens.

Keeping a postitive outlook won't stop them from happening, but it will make the down times easier to bear.

I've discovered this for myself.
 
KX, We've all been there and sorry to hear about your marriage. I won't sit here and say I'm all positive about EVERYTHING, but maybe those "keep it positive" people have the right idea.

I went through a whole lot of sh*t with my kids father, but you know what, if I didn't, I wouldn't be the strong, independent woman I am today. And for that, I'm grateful.

It's the beginning of a new year, so let's be positive!!! I know I'm trying.

😉

Good Luck,
Gina
 
My marriage is OK and up until this past year I used to have to deal with all these thing by myself which actual did create some resentment towards her on my part. I was never able to rely on my wife for these type of issues, but know that we've gone through all this it has actually brought us closer because now she realizes how difficult things can be and she's more understanding. It doesn't make things easier but it's at least put us on the same page.....

Thanks for the positive vibes everyone.......
 
I'm sorry to hear that you have a rough patch to get through.

If you ever need to vent, feel free to pm me.

It's not much help, but.........

aaww, KX, but did I understand you correctly... you and your wife actual are closer now? That's a positive thing. And honestly, talking to other people makes things a little easier to deal with even for the moment. Keeping things bottled up only make matters worse.

Good Luck.
 
My wife and I haven't had any problems for quite a few years now, but since hitting these financial lows, we have become much closer. I 've been with my wife for about 19 years now. She ws 14 and I was 21 and for the most part she spent a lot of years just growing up (obviously) and so did I for that matter, 21 is still a kid as far as life experiences, but I was fresh out of the USMC and with a load of responsibilities. Needless to say at that age she wasn't much help but she tried and I loved her for it. At 19 she had our first child and she's been a stay at home mom ever since, but just recently we started having serious financial issues and now she has begun to help and really understands the pressures of being behind the 8 ball and that's what's brought us closer together. This past years been tough and we almost lost everything but were still together and closer than we've ever been (which I can't believe but anyway). We are kind of starting all over again financially, which is really tough when your almost 40.

"Gotta keep moving forward." and "learning to hit a curve ball"
