I enjoy poetry and that's why 'ex N's sucko poetry made me crazy. Oh, what the hell, here's an example: Souls life sides the matrix of creation manifest heart...
Hello, This afternoon, at 2.00 PM, my husband and I will meet my psychiatrist. She wanted to see us both, not for therapy, but to complete the picture. I look...
Sylvia, OF COURSE you are sad at this time, about him and your marriage. Who wouldn't be? Let us know how it went and be kind to yourself these days. Lisa ......
Dear Sylvia, Pity is a weapon that is easily used against a woman. Every woman I've ever met is so fair because they pity the guy. Don't give into it. Strip...
Hi Lisa and Roberta, How did it go? I have a headache! I'm exhausted! I went to a good friend afterwards, to chill out! But I'm relieved too. My psychiatrist...
I LOVE IT! OK, I'm YELLING! it's always a two-some problem when they're the bloody problem. Relation therapy, my foot! The one time the yutz and I went for...
Dear Roberta, Yes, yes, yes, it was worth it. My headache has fainted, I feel strong, I said my husband afterwards (at home) he must left us alone for a while,...
Hi Roberta, Did your dipstick X just pick up a dictionary and pick out words at random? Did he read the meanings of them first? Or did he just pick up a whole...
Dear Sylvia: Congratulations on having the courage to see this thru, by keeping that appointment with the therapist. Not only were your observations and...
Dear friends, When I read my headache has fainted I thought, that's it. That's real poetry. The trick is to stop thinking and just write. That's why people who...

I'm reading a book by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, born in Switzerland, and though this is an autobiographical work, her use of English sings. I work with a large...
Yeah, dipstick was writing for the elite. Now he's fallen madly in love with a jazz singer so he's writing jazz poetry (?) (You want to do a critique, Angie?)...
Okay, it is still October now. But in the mal where I went shopping this morning, X-mas-cookies and Glühwein are already available. How will 'his' christmas...
Pity is the first step to N-dipping. You are a kind person who feels others' pain, but the N plays on that in you, like an instrument used to reach his own...
Sylvia...please remember to pity YOURSELF and any CHILDREN, then him last. This is not selfish, star ... strong, I said my husband afterwards (at home) he must...
Dear Friends, I'm not sure about this brutal honesty thing. I talked to my mother about my current pain, at trying to live without hate in my heart, and she...
Dear Hannah, Honesty doesn't have to be brutal--it should be liberating. You don't have to convert the person who wounded you--in many cases the denial is so...
Dear Hannah, I don't think I have understood your mail properly. Is your mother saying you have to think on yourself, not to waste any longer time on your...
Hi all, Sylvia for goodness sake don't let him back! Let him suffer a Christmas alone. He doesn't deserve your pity or anything else. Just try to keep him...
Hello everyone, Next Wednesday it's my second daughters birthday. Seventeen! Her father asked what she wanted for her birthdaypresent. She definitly doesn't...
Hi Sylvia, Although your daughter does have the right to invite him or not, it doesn't sound as if she wants him at your home anyway. Is there any way that you...
Oh, Sylvia! There is no end to the number of ways this man will try to impose himself on you, by inviting himself to celebrate family occasions! What a weasel!...
Dear Sylvia, He sounds so much like my ex-husband. It has been 2 years since I filed and got him out of the house, and I just recently starting feeling strong...
Hello there, Tomorrow is THE day. My daughters birthday. I had send my husband a mail yesterday, explaining why I thought it not wise that he had invited...
Just another line to ask if I'm probably wrong? Maybe he isn't an N at all? I don't know and really, I don't care either. I'm just scared, scared, scared. That...
Dear Sylvia, I don't know whether or not he is an N. But I do know that he has mistreated you and he knows exactly how to play you. I can see it so clearly...
