New Years Resolutions and getting rid of baggage
December 10, 2012 in Uncategorized
These past few weeks have really taken the very last bit out of me, never in my life did I think that I would be the one wanting to give up, but I said it, let it out and there you go now as well, I have given up with my family, I have given up with the in laws and I nearly wanted to give up on my own marriage too. I realize that me and hubby is really not doing too bad when you look at those around you, but all the interferences just wanted to let us both give up. Usually I am the strong one, but I think I’ve just had enough. I have come to the conclusion that I would rather try to save my marriage than focus yet again and both families crap. Our marriage needs to be strong for what is lying ahead of us, and although our roots are strong, the family bundling under our tree have bundled a lot of roots up and I refuse to let our marriage be ruined by idiotic adults acting worse than a bunch of spoilt bratty children.
So yes, its been tough, I’ve been retracting more and more into my shell, Friday night I finally spoke to hubby and although there is not much we can do about the circumstances around us, we can build on our marriage and be stronger for each other and to the worlds beatings that gets send our way every single day.
This has been a tough year for all of us and I won’t compare anything to anyone, I just really wish and hope that 2013 brings peace and happiness in our life.
I have no idea what will lie in the road ahead for us and if we will get through it, but all I know is that we need to get rid of this family baggage and live our life.

Hugs Nats, may 2013 be “family free” Feels like I’ve been telling your for ages to concentrate on yourselves more. Bugger the family, they’ll learn to cope without you. They will have to

Thanks Helen, ja, it does, they just seem to creep up on us and before we know it, we are knee deep in the middle of it all again. Its gotten a lot better, but we obviously have some more work in that department to do meaning “ignoring them”. Ja, I’m afraid for them that the road ahead just cannot fit their nonsense in our lifes, we are starting something difficult for the both of us and they will just have to stand aside and deal with their own problems and issues they have with each other. Thanks for checking in xx

When you and Hubby got married, you created your own family and that is the only family you spend all your time and energy on. The only family you nurture. All those other family members who insist on making your life a living hell can just go blow it. It’s like you said, your marriage needs to be strong and you and Hubby need each other. Good for you for focusing on you and him, and sending the family with all their issues packing.
