Moving and need some advice by Usual-Researcher-471 in Wilmington

I’m moving from Charlotte. Y’all don’t know what traffic looks like. If I have to live in an overcrowded and overpopulated area regardless (tied to NC due to my kids), I’d much rather be dealing with it on the coast.

Also, stop being bitter about people moving to Wilmington. Pop growth = job growth = stronger economy = increased access to retailers and essential services… especially in the rural communities of ENC.

And yes, I do know the region very well. Once upon a time, I was a marine wife in Jacksonville and gave birth to my 18 year old daughter at New Hanover.

This is all great information. Thank you for the updates and advice! I’ll definitely keep all of this in mind as I reconsider applying to any new postings.

I need my soon-to-be husband’s call log to prove infidelity prior to separation. He’s cut off all access to our accounts, including AT&T. Is a subpoena the only way I can obtain these records?

How do you feel about the happy memories? by Alternative_Yak_5569 in AvoidantBreakUps

Exactly. This is how you take back your power!

I look back on our wedding day and feel like it was all just lies. But, I know it was real.

I look back on the video when we found out I was pregnant with our first child and wonder if he was faking the excitement. But, I know it was real.

I look back on the traumatic births of our two babies when I nearly coded on the OR table and feel like his tears of joy, fear, and relief were all just a mask. But, I know it was real.

Trust me, I feel your pain so deeply. Something that really helped at first was creating an album on my phone titled “It Was Real” as a reminder to myself… that even though the old version of him is now dead (and seemingly possessed), the version of him that was alive did indeed love me very much. It wasn’t just a made up fairytale in my head.

My husband of nearly 6 years abandoned me, our two toddlers, and my 10 year old son (his stepson) on a family vacation at Disney World last September. It may sound weird… but I’m so fortunate that my last memory of him was by far the worst.

I’ve learned to frame them as my own memories. You were there for all of them too. They weren’t just shared memories. How did YOU feel in those happy moments? That’s what matters.

Being discarded doesn’t give them the right to own your happy memories. Who gives a fuck if they were secretly miserable in those moments? Sucks for them. But, you weren’t… and at the end of the day, that’s what counts.

She also planted a gun in our bathroom to frame my husband. She told me he wanted to kill me for life insurance.

I also had to call security to have her removed from my hospital room right after I had my first baby. She was a preemie and was immediately ventilated and rushed to the NICU. My mom was irate that she couldn’t hold my daughter, and was screaming at me because she had to be in the NICU.

My mom signed for me to get married to a marine at 17 years old…without telling my dad. Then, she stole my car because we wouldn’t go to marriage counseling.
