for you and proud of you. You are right on track about not moving to be closer to him. And if he tries to argue, always remember to use the reasoning that its the KIDS who are first - its not you versus him. So, the kids should not move closer to him, but rather the other way around!! He has to be sure everything he does is for THEM not him. Though he'll argue that they need to see their daddy - thus why they should move - its psycho warfare, and HE needs to accommodate them. Period! Someday you will look back on this period of your life and hopefully laugh, or at least smile and see what a great decision it was and how worth it for the kids AND you!

I am so glad you posted that about men, I am 30 and
I am having the same problem. That is probably why I work so much. Our situation is terrible, but at least we now know that we aren't alone out there by our 30ish year old selves going through some sort of pre-midlife crisis. I thought it was just me.
So glad you posted this - thanks

Thank you! I'm so glad you posted
this message because yesterday and all through the early hours this morning the noise was unbearable, and now I have to work an 8-10 hour shift on almost no sleep. You are right about the people moving and new ones coming in; we never had this problem out of the 9 years I have owned my house up until early Spring this year when someone new moved in down the street. I'm sure people know exactly who is causing the noise and other problems, but maybe they are afraid to say anything. I have found from personal experience and from others that once you try to ask somebody nicely to keep it down, one of two things happens; they either say they are sorry and keep it down, or they turn it up louder, then if you call the police they know it was you. I have just resorted to calling the police anonymously, although I know they can find out who I am, but the neighbor doesn't have to know it was me.
I have made up fliers and am going out this afternoon to pass them out, and at least in the meantime ask them to please call the police whenever they hear that music. It HAS to be bothering more than just me if I can FEEL it and my dog hides behind a chair. Thanks so much for the tips.
I remember this....I'm so glad you posted. SM
I have two major problems that I have been struggling to turn over to the Lord that I am having problems letting go of. Just seeing this post this morning has done me more good than you know.
And I'm glad you have the jacket back because it means so much to you. He really does work good for those who love Him, doesn't He?
Thank you again for posting.
I'm so glad you posted. I thought it was me! sm
I can remember from years ago, but have so much difficulty remember things short-term. If I don't write it, I can't remember. Scary! At least I know I'm not alone! Thanks everyone!
well i am glad that they treat you that posted better
Odd it must have just been me cause I was with them two different times two years apart and both times the same crap! I am glad to see that they are treating some people nicer than myself! I really don't know what the deal is there, but I know I didn't get much positive feedback or help when I asked for help! Yes, the pay was not so hot either I agree with the other poster on that part. I have two years of transcription experience, but this gal did expect perfection from me on day one I can see maybe day 3 but not day one. As I said I am just speaking my experience and if anyone else has had similar to myself please don't hesitate to speak up! Thanks! Have a great weekend all!
Thanks everyone for the kind responses. I'm glad I posted. I have gotten some good leads.
And some good advice. Feeling better already!!
Jodi
just keep on hanging in there! There may be rough waters ahead but you can and will make it! It's been 10 yrs for me now and I can not say it was easy but it was so empowering to have peace in my life for myself and my children. They are doing so much better without the evil in their lives
Jodi
Hooray! Wonderful news. Will keep you and kids in my prayers.
Jodi, where are you?
Hey Jodi, we haven't heard from you since the weekend. We are worried. Is everything okay?
Hey Jodi
Glad to hear you are doing well. I am sorry to hear you got caught by someone on the board who should have kept their venom to themselves. You know what they say though, there really is at least one in every crowd. Haven’t heard from mine since Saturday, but I took great delight in informing him that I had changed my phone number and that he did not need the new one. Seems he will be getting a dose of reality in the very near future, I checked the bank account earlier and he had already written over $800 in checks, but only put $300 in, so at that rate it won’t be too long before they start bouncing. Oh well, as long as he’s happy right? A couple of close friends and I are planning a girls night out for the weekend, we are all in various stages of divorce, but one of them is having a particularly hard time with hers, so we thought it might be good to get out for awhile. I know you have kids, but is there anyone that could watch them, even for a couple of hours, when you’re ready, so you can get out with friends (or even just by yourself for that matter) and have some time to yourself? Got to get back to work now, but do check in and let us know how things are going for you, and don’t let the trolls get to you, take them for what they are, hateful and bitter, with nothing better to do with their time but try to make everyone else as unhappy as they are.
Yea! You rock, Jodi
All of these posts are SO encouraging. I would never recognize you as "bawling my eyes out" - you took the plunge and I can virtually see you getting stronger every day!! I am so happy that you found your power. I just wish you could move closer to your family. But your MT community "family" is always here for you.
We are so proud of you!!
That was fast for you Jodi!
My ex kept playing games,scheduled the pick-up over 11 times, each time the police had to be here and set up in advance, so they were not happy at all. Realtor called the judge because the house showing did not do well with a 2 car garage packed with all his junk.
Judge finally "ordered" him to show up on a date SHE chose and if he did not, then his stuff (including his furniture) would be picked up by a local battered womens shelter and the Salvation Army!
7 months post exist he showed up with some help but the cops who had previously sat around waiting for him also showed up off an on (besides the 2 there to protect me) and did some subtle irritating
Keep reaching for that star Jodi, it will all work out for you. You've taken the most important step in gaining control of YOUR life again and freedom with security is sweet!
Jodi, a lot of mean people come on here...
Please don't let that keep you from talking to the people who genuinely care about you and are praying for you and your kids. Ignore the trolls. Some people are just mean for no reason. They are not very happy people and don't want to see anyone do well. You know there are an awful lot of us who DO care about and wish you only the best. Please let us know that you are okay at least. You are still in my thoughts and prayers every day. 
Not attacking Jodi, just you!
You asked the question about your husband's condition. You did nothing once you got advice. You came back and asked a second time if it was something you could wait out. You asked this to a MT board who are not doctors. You got several responses about how you should take him to a doctor. You were upset because people were telling you to take him to the ER and you didn't have the money or whatever. You came back and called people crazy for telling you to take him to the doctor and left a mad face at the end! That is the way I see it, tell me if I am wrong, but that seemed kinda crazy of YOU!
Hooray for Jodi!! You are SO MUCH STRONGER
...than you were last week. I am SO happy to see that. I am glad that you came here for our support. I wrote you a nice long e-mail in your original chain and was so worried about you. I see with each additional posting that you are growing stronger and stronger!!!! I sure like to think it was all the support we gave you here. You deserve so much better than what was happening to you. I am so happy for you!!
"I am woman...hear me ROAR!" You rock, Jodi! Please keep us updated, okay. You know you are in a lot of prayers. ((((hugs))))
Good going Jodi and I will pray......and...sm
let him call it the projects......when I left mine, my thought was *living in the gutter is better than living with him*....and I saved myself and my daughter (our daughter) and became my own Hero - so KUDOS to you, lady!!!! My prayers are with you....but sounds like you're doing fine and remaining strong. What you said about what would be self-destructive to you at this point was right on target, sounds like...... so may I applaud your strengths?!?!?!?!      
Praying here, too. So sorry. nm

I am praying
I have a soon to be 4 year old come March.
My prayers are with the little boy and the family!
GOD BLESS!
I will be praying for you. (sm)
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

I am praying God will give you the strength to do this. You are very brave. Please, please be careful and go to the hospital if you are have ANY trouble. If you want you can e-mail me - I am here for you.
i do a lot of praying. nm
a little word of warning on his stuff Jodi
Knowing me ex for the 25 year pre-exit, I had cataloged every little thing and put a copy in his stuff.
Sure enough, in court his lawyer tried to say that I had not given him everything, kept a lot of his expensive tools, etc!
It is he says/she says but just stick to your guns and tell the truth that he did take it all.
Jodi, you feel free to post whenever you want to and if you see something
ugly posted, you just email me directly and I'll deal with it. I am intolerant of people being mean on this site. I can be reached at admin@mtstars.com.
On an episode of Dr. Phil I saw just the other day, he said that children have a hard enough time living outside of a broken home, but should never have to live INSIDE of a broken home. Wise words, in my opinion. I, personally, think you did the right thing and as long as you are taking care of your children and have a decent roof over their heads, he really can't do much. Like you said, if he wants to partake in your children's upbringing then he can come to see them. Unless you moved closer to your parents or siblings then you should probably sit tight where you are since you have a home church and people there who you can talk to. Also, there are very caring people who post here regularly, so please don't give up on this site just because of a bad apple.

Praying for you Fluffy.

Praying for your friend!!
I am so sorry about their loss, sometimes we are not meant to understand why things happen. "Do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10.
God Bless you and your friends
Praying for Danny
I will be sure to pray for him and his family. Let us know how he is doing. You are a good friend.
Praying more these days....
I'm glad I'm not the only one who is worried about all the school violence lately. I have three children, two teenagers and a kindergartener. I worry so much more for them with all that is happening. I live in a small town where everyone knows everyone else. I don't feel our security meausres are up to those of the larger schools and that does scare me. This world has become such a scary place with all the school shootings recently, people cutting fetuses from a pregnant woman's stomach, and just the utter lack of respect for peope in general. I find myself praying more and more for my family and for those around me.
Sorry to have kept going on and on. I guess this bothered me more than I had let on. Please take care and stay safe.
Jodi Lebodi ... did you ever find anything about the Smash diet? sm
I thought it was the same as the Take Control Diet book Dr. Smith had out, but apparently no ... a totally new book is coming out.
I'm tired of waiting ... dug out an old copy of the Scarsdale Diet ... look out Chastity and Kelly ... I may beat you! lol
Tonight ... it says Jeff checks into rehab ... good thing ... poor guy.
I certainly will be praying for you and your furry child (your other one too)
I hope everything goes well with your trip. Your dog couldn't be anywhere better than at the vet's if you have to leave her. I'm sure she will be fine when you get back, but I will be thinking of you. Whatever is God's plan will be, though. Hope that helps you. 
Praying that your luck changes soon and your job holds out. nm

If someone here doesn't mind praying for someone you don't know, sm
A wheelchair-bound, mentally retarded family friend has gotten badly burned and was taken to a larger city hospital. The sister tried to see him yesterday but they would not let her in. We're anxiously awaiting to hear something, but they did tell the sister she could get in at noon today. It's an awfully long wait when you've taken care of this young man for all his life and something so bad happens. I don't know the particulars on how it all happened yet, but please say some prayers for this family. His name is Danny.
I completely understand that feeling. Praying for this family. nm

Glad I could help and glad you got your setup going. nm

glad to help, glad it worked!

thank you - please do keep me posted. - sm
I was supposed to be there next week.
yes - keep us posted
I am sick to death of these companies. My credit card company called me Friday night at 9:45 P.M. to ask where my payment was, which I made last week and it was not late!!!! I was so mad and I knew the call was being monitored "for better customer service" that I screamed "listen you job stealing m**f**, do you have any idea what time it is, and if you knew your job, you would see that I am not late with my payment and it was RECEIVED last week." I was sooooo mad I couldn't believe I had lost it like that. I was screaming all kinds of profanities.
Ooooh that felt good getting that off my chest. Now if a big hurricane or tsunami would hit their towns I would be even happier. I have never been racist a day in my life, but I realize that I am racist against countries taking our jobs.
Where was that posted?
Can you direct me to that?
that was probably LL who posted.

I think that is the same guy that posted
before about the $25/audio hour and got actual bids for $10 and $20/audio hour. He/she sounds like a scammer
I got in right after I posted here, but before that

This was NOT posted by myself.
Hello PJ, nice to meet another, but how about we find a way to set ourselves apart. I am an MT and an Editor for multple accounts and frequent the boards here on MT Stars, come visit me on the Holiday/Recipe board if you like.
You might as well have posted
What is this? What can we do with this. Sorry, I'm not a technical person. How can we use this?
I posted below on this...
This lady I referred to before who wrote the doctor, he was actually more impressed with her at trying to learn a profession and showing that she cared than he was with the MTSO. He got mad at the MTSO for firing this lady and thought she should have been given a chance. He was actually really upset by this. I just think maybe a doctor should know how much their demands can affect a family...especially now that I am out of a job!! As far as the MTSO and everyone else seeing this and having a long memory, do you really think I would ever be able to work for that company again? She fired me over e-mail and told me not to contact her and then stayed logged off of her IM, so she is basically "hiding." Now that should stick in everyone's minds for a long time, I would think. It does really hurt to be an MT for so many years and have a mishap with a TAT a time or two, be told about it, apologize and then be given more work for a week while the MTSO trains someone else and THEN get fired!! I thought there was some kindness in the world, but I guess not when it comes to business. That is such a shame.
I saw that you posted....
a little lower that he was fine, but now he's having problems again. I really do think it's some sort of allergic reaction, and he went and exposed himself yet again. What is he eating or drinking??? Only the two of you can decide how serious this is, but if it IS serious, then get him some medical help--and to hell with the cost!
Well, I think this is probably a first for me to see posted
I have mixed feelings about what to say because I don't know what kind of felony it was (and I'm not asking), but I would think that would be a huge factor in getting any kind of job in the medical business. Usually it takes 20 years for things like that to roll off a reference check. I'm torn between telling you not to disclose it and roll the dice of it not being found or continue disclosing it and not being able to find a job. (I know that statement will generate some livid responses!) In general a felony is enough to keep you off most employer's payroll and I imagine it would be next to impossible for jobs related to the medical industry. Maybe try some local clinics where you can explain face to face your situation.
Saw them AFTER I posted!
Again, sheesh, sorry to be a bother - I thought this board was for support. If you don't want to answer, you don't have to! People talking about what they are fixing for dinner are not attacked! I'm trying to save my house and feed my children. I logged in after a long absence, ran a search, got 0 (again have no idea why), posted my message, and yes, THEN related messages popped up! I only come here now and again and probably did something wrong but jeepers! That's ("how can you say that?!") how I can say that. Please think twice before basically accusing someone of lying! Thank you for a lovely end to a lousy day with only $26.00 earned due to no work at my job.
