One month

A month from today I will delete this blog.

I am no longer looking to become a parent as d has decided to no longer want to be in our marriage. He states that he is filing for divorce tomorrow. No shit.

Things I know... I am a beautiful, humorous, smart woman that will be able to love again (one day, probably not in the near future though) and while the curse of IF was not the exact cause of the end of our union I know that it certainly didn't help. I can't help but wonder what path we would be on right now if we were able to conceive or keep the girls.

There isn't a whole lot I want to talk about publicly however, if you want to keep in touch please email me so I can let you know where my next bloggy brilliance will take place. I will be deleting this blog, one month from today.

It's been a journey, I thank you all for your friendship, love and peace-filled thoughts. I count each of you as blessings and for this I am eternally grateful our paths have crossed.

I'm so very sorry.

I'm glad you've been able to hang on to what is wonderfully true of you through all of this.

Oh Kara I am so sorry. I don't comment much, I've been more of a lurker, but I have enjoyed reading about your strength and perseverance and courage to take the path of deciding not to have children. I am so verry sorry, but you are correct - you are a beautiful, strong, brilliant person and you will be okay. I know it will be tough for awhile, but you will survive and eventually thrive. soapchick@comcast.net

Kara,
I'm so very sorry to hear this news. You do not deserve this. I hope that you keep in touch. Many many hugs coming your way...

I'm so sorry this is happening. I'm glad you are able to keep things in perspective. This must be such a raw time for you. During infertility we almost ended things. Its just so difficult to be partners when life keeps throwing you curve balls and you're both in survival mode.

Take care of yourself.

I'm looking forward to hearing about your phoenix moment in your next bloggy brillance.

Oh, shit, Kara. I'm so sorry. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as you negotiate this unwelcome and painful transition. I know you are strong and powerful, and I know you have the courage you will need to work through this. Hang in there, sweetie.

Oh Kara,
I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you right now. You are right, you're a damn good catch, and I'm so sorry that your journey is over with your husband. I wish I could be more of a help, and if you need someone that you simply just need to type and rant and rave, please email me speculumstories@gmail.com.

Take care

Alyssa said...

Kara, I am so, so sorry. I am sorry this is happening-you deserve so much more. You deserve someone who adores you and appreciates all the wonderfulness that is you. I wish I had better words or more ways to help. You are in my thoughts, friend. Much love and peace to you.

Cara said...

Kara - to know those things about yourself as you start again is amazing. Good luck - I'll be thinking of you on 3.3.09

Dora said...

Kara, this sucks big time. What an ass he is. You're awesome. Wish I had words to really make you feel better.

christina(apronstrings) said...

that sucks. i am so sorry. yeah, IF beats down even the best relationships.

Amanda said...

Holy crap, Kara... we don't "know" each other, but I am really, really sorry to see this post. I am glad that you are able to still be positive about yourself and I wish I could do something to help!

Please email me if you start up again someplace new. Have really enjoyed reading your blog - your voices is one of my most favorite :-)

Bridget McGee said...

Sorry to hear that. I'm sure things are hard. If he doesn't want to be with you though, then he doesn't deserve you. And I'm sure you will find someone who does. You have my email, if you ever feel like taking a trip up north for more wine tasting, I'm always available.

I found your blog today through
Bri's blog. I just want to say that I'm sorry that your going through this hard time. I wish I could say or do something to help, but, unfortunatly, there's not much I can do except to tell you how my heart aches to hear of your sorrow. There must be something about this time of year. One of my closest friends recently separated from her husband and I miss her and her three daughters so much. I'm so glad that I could post this comment. I wish my girl friend had a blog so at least I could know how she's doing.

Hugs for you, sweet Kara.

Tracy
