Messman Update

[Messman]

Howdy everyone. I wanted to stop in and give everyone an update on why I have not been around much.  I have been going through a major life change shall we call it.  My and the wife have split up...have moved out of the house and I am now living in a camper.  I guess I should mention I am fighting off a foreclosure as well. I have no shop and my stuff is in storage.  It has not been too ugly of a split but it is still a big change.  Anyway I wanted to give you an update.  I will stop in as I can and hope everyone has a very happy Christmas and hope your thanksgiving was a great one.

Any major life change can be tough. As Kevin said, keep looking up and keep life simple.

Like all changes in life, it's a process. One morning you wake up and realize the sun is shining. Patience and persistence will serve you well. Best of luck.

Sorry to hear about this life changing thing for you. Divorces can indeed be very messy at times. I, fortunately have never gone through one of those and I hope that I never have to. It appears there is a lot of adjustment ahead for you. I can't think of a more difficult thing to go through, outside of a decease that takes away your health gradually or the dying of a family member, such as one of your children or a mate.  You have given so much to our scrolling and woodworking family and I know many of us are hurting because you are going through all this pain right now. Continue to go forward and try and find some peace in your life. Don't forget, if you have any children together, that they will be hurting too. Make sure they are not blaming themselves for their parents decision to divorce. Be sure they know that you love them and remember because you and your wife can not agree to making things work does not stop them from continuing to love their mother. Remembering to allow them to love her is very important to their healing through this.. I wish you well and hope that you can get things worked out in your new life and get your talents back up and running soon

I'm sorry to hear of your current circumstances Chris.  It is hard I know that because my daughter went through it.  It was even harder for her because he was and is a pig and a brute they are the kindest words I can find to describe him, I could say a lot more but I won't.  But 3 years on and life is good for her and her children, so you see there is light at the end of the tunnel, just remember that when things feel unbearable.  We are all here to listen please remember that.  Please take care.

I am sorry to hear about this. I went thru it about 2 years ago. My X had run my kids out of the house one at a time and then lied to me about what had happened. I worked away from home during the week and was not there when most of it had gone down and I believed her even when my children tried to explain. It made me physically ill and I finally figured out it was the stress she was putting me under that was causing my physical problems. It is just NOT NATURAL for a woman to reject her own children.

I have worked things out with my kids and have even got to know my Grandkids since the divorce. I remarried a wonderful woman who is totally about family. I even got back to studying the bible after many years away and it helped me work out things in my own life.

Good luck my friend. I wish you only the best.

*And this too shall pass*        

 

I was told this by my brother when I was going thru my divorce.  As everyone had said it takes time and positive thinking.  Get out among people, family and friends. They are your greatest support system.  Place no blame, just go on about your life, things will slowly start to turn around.  Remember your family here, we are always here to help you in any way we can.  God Bless.
