jellybean89 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hope, I'm just catching up now... Never a doubt in my mind that once you closed the door on the past, your future would be full of love, light and happiness....with or without a "tall, dark & troublemaker" by your side. I'm so glad you dug deep, let the pain if the past wash iver you, and flushed the toilet as it all went down the drain. May your future be full of smiles and laughter...and love. My best to you. 6 Link to post Share on other sites
awkward Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hope, Your beautiful daughter is always with you in your heart. I'm happy that you were able to hold her, kiss her, and tell her how much you love her. I'm sad that you didn't get to hold her long enough, kiss her long enough, cuddle her long enough. She was so lucky to have such a loving and caring mother. She knew how much you loved her. She is always right there in your heart. You are a loving, caring, and strong mother. She would be so proud of you. Her name is beautiful. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Author Hope Shimmers Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Thanks so much everyone. That poem made me cry (in a good way) and has had me thinking all weekend. I do hope you mean on this thread and not on the boards for good, Hope. I think your words have helped me more than most here, and I find you to be such an asset to us here. I meant for good, as I think I need a break, but I won't be totally gone. Thank you. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Hope - you must be special because I am crying for you and think you kick ass at the same time. Thank you SS. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Sassy Girl Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Thanks so much everyone. That poem made me cry (in a good way) and has had me thinking all weekend. I meant for good, as I think I need a break, but I won't be totally gone. Thank you. I hear you. Been thinking the same today actually - time to move on. Haven't always agreed with you but respect your views nonetheless and wish you all the very best. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

merrmeade Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'm sorry for us (me) that you're leaving, happy for you that it's time and grateful for all the times you've kept things real and human. I feel like I just lost something I barely had, met someone I'll never see again. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

the_artist_1970 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm here Southern. He is an a@@hole and I'm hurting. I'm sorry. Hope, I cried when I first read your story. To think of what you have been through still makes me tear up. All that you have been through and you still take the time to help others through their pain. I hope you stay around. I personally have gained a lot from your posts. I wish the ultimate peace and love in your life. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I am horrible at picking men.... I only seem to pick selfish a@@holes. The guy in this thread, the father of my daughter, is divorcing. He's actually been very patiently and very persistently trying to get me back. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Author Hope Shimmers Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 :mad: Sending you hugs... Thanks SS. I'm actually doing a lot better now. I just got some hateful, very hurtful things flung at me last night and it cut to the core (which was the intent). But now at least I see the light.

MuddyFootprints Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I don't know what the criminal harassment laws are where you are, but you might want to look into it. Make him aware of the potential penalties for repeated, unwanted contact and advise him that you will pursue legal avenues if he does not immediately cease and desist with this behaviour.

Sassy Girl Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks. You guys are the best. He's still taking potshots at me after I have asked repeatedly for it to stop. What a horrible person I am, etc etc. What a f*cking *******. HUGE bullet dodged! Thank you, I feel better now! What a gentleman Sounds like a big baby throwing the toys out the pram to me. This was an EA, right? See my Tagline... Most people think I have it here to explain my communication style, so they fail to pay attention to the other part. Pretty words aren't always true. The gallery says "look at their actions... What does that tell you"? Glad you've washed your hands of him, Hope. Looks like he was pretty unworthy anyways. Let him be someone else's "prize" Edited June 11, 2015 by Sassy Girl 1 Link to post Share on other sites
