From Fergie......
"The path that I'm walking, I must go alone.
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown.
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay.
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you.
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do.
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry"
Oh, dear readers.........if only it were that easy. I wish I could tell myself not to cry, and that myself would listen.
Big girls DO cry.
Big girls still get their feelings hurt and their hearts broken.
Big girls still look at the past through rose-colored glasses and only see the good, never the bad.
Big girls still wonder "what if?" and never think "I'm lucky to have gotten out."
Big girls still drive themselves crazy all this time later by noticing significant dates on the calendar and remember how it used to be.
Big girls sometimes envy little girls, whose bruises and hurts could be easily remedied with a kiss and hug from Mom.
Big girls want to know when these feelings will finally stop.
Big girls DO cry.

So true! I cry - a lot. But I kinda like it. I just wish I were prettier when doing it...
Hahaha - I know what you mean. I tend to epitomize what Oprah calls the "ugly cry"!
:)
Thanks for reading!
My Sylvia tells me sometime you have to cry to be able to see something more clearly. And I don't like to cry but I'm learning how to and my vision is improving :)
It's okay to cry you know. I think what is truly sad is when you cry alone. When the pain you feel alienates you from those you care about.
And there isn't anything you can do about it because you don't know who you can trust.
DD!
"My Sylvia" sounds like she's very wise......much like My Mary. I really like her thoughts on how we have to cry sometimes to be able to see something more clearly. That actually makes a lot of sense.
I miss you.

I agree - it's hardest when we cry alone.
However.
I've learned in the past few months that, when I cry alone, it's because I'm choosing to cry alone. There is always someone who will be there for you......even when you say it's hard to know who to trust.
For me, the hardest thing is often asking someone to listen and hold me while I cry.
(((hugs)))
Big girls most definitely cry.
BUT...
Big girls also have big friends who will cheerfully remind you that you are so very lucky to have gotten out. Until you come around enough to remember on your own. Big girlfriends are the absolute best.
OMG I so totally relate to this post. But I also agree with what Ms. Jane had to say. That's the best part about Divorce Club. We have Big Girlfriends that help us during our Big Girl cry moments.
