LuvnCntry Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 My DD left a week ago for 8 wks. This is our 2nd summer away from each other. Last summer she came home 3 wks early so was only gone for 5. Tonight she called and even though she was telling me all the neat things she had done last week, I could hear her holding back her tears....I asked her what was wrong and she said she misses me....it was all i could do not to sob...but i told her i missed her too...and we talked about last summer how it was really hard the first 2 wks and then it got easier...and then we talked about the cool things she's doing this week. She wanted to talk to her friend but she wasn't home so I said I'd call on Thur with her friend... When I got off the phone I broke down sobbing....For the last week I have avoided my house like the plague...my housework and bills have piled up...tonight though i paid the bills... Last year we moved and so I'm in a new house and am just beginning to make friends...so my usual support is hundreds of miles away...even though i have family an hour away...it's not the same... I miss her sooooooooo much....will I ever get used to summers? Link to post Share on other sites
Matilda Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Oh, I'm sorry you feel so lonely. I'm assuming she is with your ex. I know how hard that can be. I think you should try and prepare for the summers a little better if you can. Maybe try to do some things you can't really do when she is there. Like take a class, or a trip to somewhere she wouldn't be interested in going on. I kind of look forward to my daughter going to be with my ex sometimes, so my husband and I can catch up on the all the R rated movies we've missed. Link to post Share on other sites
Author LuvnCntry Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 yes, she is with the ex.. Lonely is definitely the key word...last year I had my friends and so the summer went by fast.... and this year I had plans that would have kept me quite busy and then some things happened that put a major kink in my plans....Logically I know the first 2 wks are the hardest...I work so my week goes by quickly...I just wish I didn't mind coming home...I hate procrastinating on my chores...but when I feel yucky my chores are the last thing I want to do.... This week hasn't been so bad as I knew I had to take care of things because I have a trip planned for the 4th... I talked to her again tonite...and she was so cute. Link to post Share on other sites
msrealdoll Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I am so sorry to intrude, but what is a DD? Is there a list somewhere of the different abbreviations? Link to post Share on other sites
Matilda Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 DD is an abbreviation for daughter. It stands for "dear daughter". DH, DS, DD, DW: Dear husband, dear son, dear daughter, dear wife Oh good, I'm glad you have a trip planned for the 4th. My daughter is gone this time of year too. We don't ever get to spend 4th of July together. I procrastinate about housework all the time. But, I do it even more, if I don't think there's any reason to keep things clean, like nobody home but me. Try to keep busy though, so you don't get down in the dumps.
