ParticipantPlease welcome our newest Sister, Dobby. Dobby wrote in her profile that she is:
Divorcing a sex addict and going crazy.
Welcome Dobby. We have all felt as if we were going crazy, and some of us act as if we have.
You will find support, information, wisdom, humor and most of all, friendship here.
Feel free to jump in anywhere with a comment or your story, We are here to help you.
You are not alone any more.
Hugs and Light ~ JoAnn

ParticipantWelcome dobby I am so sorry that you landed in crazy land like the rest of us, but glad you found us! I think you will be suprised at how similar our situations are. YOu will get lots of support here and advice. We are all at different stages, some trying to stay, some trying to leave, and some who are already gone. (ok now I have the eagles song stuck in my head again)! I hope you find yourself right at home here.

ParticipantThank you Joann for your speedy reply! I am trying so hard to rebuild my life but it is not easy. I can’t remember the last time I felt happy -really happy. I tried so hard to be a good wife and create a warm and loving home and it’s just exploded. I am not perfect but don’t think I deserved what happened to me. I am blessed to have a good job as a nurse (at least I can support myself) and good friends,but I don’t think they really understand how this has (almost) destroyed me.

MemberHi Dobby-
You found the right place. I’m sorry to hear that you met us through these awful circumstances involving SA. We’re here anytime you need. You’ll find someone is online just about round the clock. Stay strong and stay on the path you chose to end this nightmare and get away from your h. We too have been destroyed by our H’s addiction.

MemberHey Dobby,
So sorry you find yourself here but so glad you found us. I understand crazy!! I am still crazy and no one understands this stuff. Hope you have a very happy day soon:)

ParticipantWe understand. I am also a nurse, and Sharron, one of our other Sisters is also a nurse.
Just let us know what you need or what you are thinking and we’ll give you all that we have. I don’t think anyone can really understand all this unless they have lived it. ~ JoAnn

ParticipantHI Dobby,
Listen, no one is perfect. Just know you can bring your questions, insights, challenges, and WTF? moments to the sisterhood. We are all finding our way as best we can. The support makes a difference on the bad days, and on the good days, you can make a real difference for someone else. Take what you need and give what you can.
lots of light,
Diane.May 3, 2012 at 10:31 pm #36138liza
ParticipantHello Dobby (are you a House Elf, like in Harry Potter? Just wondering as there aren’t that many Dobby’s out there 😉 Sorry, got off track! Welcome to the Sisterhood! Make yourself right at home. Love, Liza

MemberHi Dobby,
NO you are NOT going crazy or you wouldn’t have the good sense to divorce him?? You will find plenty of support here. We ALL understand, no matter what choices we made? We ALL know what it is like to try so hard and still it fails or doesn’t feel ideal. Read, look around and jump in whenever you are ready. A BIG warm welcome. karen xx

ParticipantHi, Dobby,
Welcome. You absolutely do not deserve what happened to you and what he did is not about you. I’m glad you found us- we are all a little crazy, so you will fit right in.May 7, 2012 at 12:32 pm #36141nap
ParticipantHi Dobby,
Welcome to SOS and and please know you are not alone. I too am divorced from my SA as of Feb 14 2012. It’s takes time to recover from trauma and that’s what it is. We find out who we were so devoted to had a secret life. I’m happy to hear you have a great career to support yourself. Please know we care and support each other. Welcome Dobby.Love, Nap

ParticipantWow, Nap- Valentines Day has a whole new significance for you.

MemberI may go on a killing spree next V’tines Day
What a nightmare the last one turned out to be! It was the week before I found all the dirty little secrets and he was in full blown hooker mode! You can imagine what a pleasant day I had…May 7, 2012 at 2:04 pm #36144nap
ParticipantIt was great, I got all dressed up, cute boots and all, curled my hair, did my nails, cute long leopard shirt ( he hates leopard print), black ballerina type top, and new jade tourquise tear drop earrings (my divorce gift to myself). I looked and felt great. It was a good day!

ParticipantOf course, he looked like sh*t.

ParticipantGood for you, NAP. I like the symbolism in the date. Anniversary would be a good day to “reinvent”, too.
I found a hotel receipt for my STBX for last year’s Valentines. This year, I think I mentioned I defaced my wedding cake topper. Next year, I think my son and I are going out for a nice dinner somewhere fancy!
