LuvnCntry Posted June 30, 2004 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?
Matilda Posted July 1, 2004 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.
Author LuvnCntry Posted July 2, 2004 Author 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.
msrealdoll Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 I am so sorry to intrude, but what is a DD? Is there a list somewhere of the different abbreviations?
Matilda Posted July 2, 2004 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.
