My Ex-Husband Returns Home - Why Love & Friendship Endures

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I take you through my week of reuniting with my son's father. He arrived from Tennessee to be with his sister Jan who fell gravely ill. Jan was a wonderful amazing woman whom I loved.
As I spent time with John and our high school friends, I could not help but wonder why some people are in our lives forever but some seem to disappear so mystery. What are the three things an enduring love or friendship has in common? I talk about what I think those three things are. How about you?
Some of the clips you see in this video are of John in me in 2022. We helped each other through the tears, the waiting, and the heartbreak of the week. We went to thrift stores, took long walks, prayed and spent time with our son and grandchildren. It wasn't easy to hug him goodbye. It really was terrible...but that is life I suppose. To love is to risk...but a risk worth taking.
My love to you always,
thank you for your good wishes, prayers and uplifting kindness you show Desi and me every day...
Next week a tour of my city and a little fun...
Please know we love you so much,
Susan & Desi

Here is my song for the asking
Ask me and I will play
So sweetly, I'll make you smile
This is my tune for the taking
Take it, don't turn away
I've been waiting all my life
Thinking it over, I've been sad
Thinking it over, I'd be more than glad
To change my ways for the asking
Ask me and I will play
All the love that I hold inside

    For me, it was a sibling after our dear dad passed away. She implied that I stole jewelry from our mom on the day that we moved her!! Blew me away...I was SO surprised/bewildered/ANGRY/confused!! Even seriously considered hiring an attorney...😒. I'm trying to forgive her for myself, but she had already said something even MORE hurtful a few years prior to that, so it's VERY difficult to do!! ( She acted like my late daughter didn't exist...) 😢 I really don't care to have her in my life...K.G.

    My 50th no one came or called. I let go of the last 'friend' who was not a friend. Our society is no designed to nurture friendships, its all about completion, do i look better than you, you than me, getting stuff, showing off stuff, being loud and making sure you are first, its toxic and I'd rather be alone than with people, its about stuff out there, not humanness. These days everyone teaching that you must come first and no one can create a relationship when humanity is to be avoided!

    I never stopped loving my ex. He and I never found anyone else. After 20 years of being divorced, he died. He was my best friend; the father of my children and I miss him so much. It's only been 10 months... When he died, a part of me died too; the part of me that only he knew. I'll never find another love like that. I'm 70 and will live with my memories. He was always there for me.❤ I'm so sorry for your loss. 💔

It reminded me why he'd been my ex husband, what a horrible man he was, how dare he even try and contact me. I raised his son's alone, all those years of so much hard work, tears, fears, for him to even dream I had anything to say to him.. vile disgusting human being.

    Susan, I left you a message yesterday, but what I didn't tell you was my ex husband was always there for me. We became best friends after our divorce and even when he was in a terrible accident, my kids asked, what will he do if he cannot take care of himself. Without even thinking, I said," well we'll just take him home! He did recover but not for long. We talked every night on the phone for several years, and finally he asked me to marry him again. I said yes, and I was so thrilled, as we had worked out our problems and got along so well. He died two nights later! I have asked myself so many times why we hadn't done this sooner......I can't come up with an answer. He had always been my best friend. So, when I suggested you and John had something very special, I really wanted you to think about it. That sort of bond doesn't come along every day, or ever again. I do apologize for the nudging but I guess I was just thinking of myself.

    This came right on time. Tomorrow will be 5 yrs since my mom passed from dementia. I've been thinking about relationships and friendships. I always think people give me what I need for the next step or maybe it's just in that moment, but it's a gift. Sometimes they don't get to stay, but they stay in my heart and that's a good place to keep them. I'm sorry for your loss and I will keep Jan's grandson in my prayers. ❤

    My mom has dementia and I feel like all of us STILL have to kiss her hiney!! It doesn't help any that she was physically abusive to me as a child!! Have to do things her way, on her timeline,etc. I guess I need to change my attitude for MY sake, but it's difficult when I think of her past behavior towards me, including REJECTION a NUMBER of times. I truly feel that she is the cause of my ( major) depression. I love her, but CERTAINLY don't like her a great deal of the time!! K.G.

However the physical and mental abuse did not help growing up.. I'm seeing it all play out now as I care for her to keep her healthy and alive when my vindictive sister and brother just collaborated to get money while they allowed her to rot in a horrible assisted living facility. I cdnt have the cycle of abuse to continue.. she's now safe and cared for 24/7

    I think that’s so amazing that you have that bond with your ex husband.. God puts people in your life for a reason and God takes people out of your life for a reason; we may never know why. No matter what, you share a child together and you share grandchildren together. Even though my ex-husband and I barely speak he lives in Florida, I live in Massachusetts 😊 we have four children together and we have 12 grandchildren and one great grandchild.. ( he never raised them) the love of my life, Tommy who I talk about on here, (we met when we were 15) raised my children, and he gave them away at their wedding. He was an intricate part of their lives. I will always miss him. He passed away in 2014. Again, God takes people out of your life for a reason and God puts people in your life for a reason< we don’t always know why💚..sorry for the loss of your close friend Jan💚

    He could really care less and hasn't learned or grown.. I do believe "the John" has deceived her for years and smacks narcissist to me (she'd be probably not aware of either a sexual diversion which almost 1 out of 3 men have had and ( I'm out generation over 55 vs 1 out 30 women in our generation) is why she" never saw it coming." He put on a great show w helping her move. Even on camera he had to come back and be the "good guy" before he tells her in (private no "more friendship") He doesn't want to be the bad guy. Then comes back to tell her "no more friendship." That's a sure demand from either a therapist or new "Friend" has given HIM an ultimatum... I'm telling you "LOVE is Truly blinding" Been there done that several times. Then found out after the internet how many women are so deceived.. and just bury their heads in the sand as was I. In Diane's case I am SO IMPRESSED by her strength to get busy, get online and create, learn how to make money, and share something most of us would be afraid to. She's such an impressive innovative woman. In my opinion any male that found her would be the luckiest guy in the world! Too bad she ended up w someone that cdnt be loyal.. because I pretty sure he "ain't".. read about narcissists... OMG she doesn't even see it was his fault she we was in that position because he DITCHED her. So many women are brain trained not to get it.. I worked in the film industry with the likes of Harvey Weinsteins.. women from our generation believed everything men told us. Male privilege has run amok for HUNDREDS of years even when we're being abused. Thank God for the internet young women can now at least learn the Truth about who the bad apples are...and there are PLENTY.. Los Angeles has 93% divorce rate men leaving women for the YOUNG more gorgeous mistress or young girl using older men for YEARS We all need to wake up and then NO MORE an the ex's come back and forth when they're either dumped by the new lady friend or guy friend that rejected THEM .... It's not good for you. FORGET about the rotten apple that dumped you during your impending golden years. I'm sorry ladies but here's your reading list. Then you all tell me if you think most men still think it's ok to dump u even if it destroys your life... Dr Phil a HUGE CHEATER read about his FIRST WIFE he left ended up destroying her life for his current controlling crazy wife. Elon MUSK Dumped AND Tried TO EVICT his first wife of his four children btw read about all his affairs AFTER that. Bill Gates who we thought was such a GREAT guy having affairs with many of his staff and I know one of them. AMAZON Jeff Bezos who actually picked UP Lauren Sanchez at a party he & his first wife was with him and Lauren Sanchez was with her WONDERFUL husband. Harvey Weinstein's affairs were not only notorious even his new wife believed him til she cdnt anymore! Last but MOST favorite was CHRIS BURRESS of KTLA ) WE ALL LOVED this down to earth regular newscaster known for BURRES BITES) Los Angeles fooled even the public & his female collegues for YEARS.. On camera down to earth OFF CAMERA WOW!!! His wife NEVER SAW OT COMING.. Its one story the MEDIA KTLA has swept under the rug. It's VERY INTERESTING It's not just famous guys. It's the regular Joe's...you need to RESEARCH your potential new males because they All have access to porn and pay for Hook up online... It's a huge problem Ladies WAKE UP...

    Hi Susan and Desi 👋 this is a tough one. Human emotions are complex and with our free will we are who we are and make decisions in our life as we did at that time. We fall in and out of love, our expectations of each other change over the events in our life. Commitments fall through and like yourself, be forced to be alone and learn to live with it. As you have shown, you chose to pick yourself up and move on and refocus on the other loves in your life, children and grandchildren because they deserve you and the love you show. At least you have that bond. Some don’t even have that and may wonder, what is the point? Yet, as long as we are alive, we choose living it because we deserve to be alive, especially for the ones we love and we have to show them no matter what our losses are in life, we all deserve to pick ourselves up and live on. The only one constant in our life, emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually, is our personal relationship with our Heavenly Father, who holds his hand out to us through it all and will never let go of us, as long as we, with the free will he gave us, continue to hold on to Him and choose to never let go. He will never let us down, while imperfect people in our lives do. The day is coming when our Heavenly Father will change the human condition from imperfection to perfection and then life will most certainly be truly amazing forever on a paradise earth as promised. This Truth is worth waiting for.

    Well you had me in tears. Thank you for sharing your story. I send my deepest condolences to you and your family. I think people come and go in and out of our lives because people and circumstances change. We are lucky to have those who are always there and who we can count on but there are always those who have gone away in one way or another which is the hardest part about trusting relationships. There is always a chance they may not always be there and when and if they're not it hurts. There are years of joy and love and there are years of sorrow and grief and yet we still trust and love. Amazing. May peace fill your heart and your wonderful memories of Jan sustain you.

    Sorry for your loss and I'm happy that you still share kindness with your ex and he shares it with you. Life is too short to waste on resentment or negativity.

    In and out of our lives as we all have different paths to take. I think it has to do a lot with trust and bonding like you said. Bonding seems to happen when we are young or with family. I cry whenever people lose a loved one, i dont have to know them, as I know that pain. So happy your family and friends were once again together. Make it a point you all do it again soon. Make it happen.

    I feel like we are in different peoples lives at different points to help them to teach them and to learn about ourselves. My daddy gave me up when I was 3 and my mother and grandparents raised me into the person I am today. I knew I had to meet my dad someday and ask him why? I did when I was 25 after my mother was killed and I asked him Susan why he didn't love me. I learned to get rid of my anger [I'M an empath LOL] that was challenging. We became friends as I grew and I studied him, after he dies I heard him tell me. I was the teacher and he became the student and he loved me...there is my answer my luv. And may Jan hold you in your sorrow and comfort you when those nights are long and memories creep in. PS she did give you your message..🙏😇

    Susan, I am so sad for your loss and John's loss. That was wonderful that you two had a chance to help each other with this loss. When I look at John, I see love in his eyes, as well as yours. Friendship, maybe. More, perhaps. What is the basis of a good relationship other than friendship. first? Trust, friendship, children, grandchildren........sounds like a new beginning, possibly? Anyway, thank you for sharing with us.

    What a great video..at the end it brought tears to my eyes. You tell stories so eloquently and you always hit the nail on the head. LOVE IS FOREVER 💞 My Sincere Condolences to you and John for the loss of your dear family member. I think it's a beautiful thing that you are friends with your ex .. I am also. I don't believe in holding grudges or hate, it is not good to hold feelings like that in your heart...it always pays off in the end to just keep love in your heart. You both are charming people and I wish you both many happy healthy years ahead. I'm feeling very anxious and sad so I just want you to know I treasure you and the positive messages you put out here for your community. I feel blessed to have found you more than a year ago. I love you and Desi so much! 🌷🌿 Have a beautiful week and stay safe ~ xoxo Hugs 💖

    This was one of my favorite videos. I'm 70, my husband is in poor health and my friends and relatives are passing. It's a perfect time to try to figure out all the mysteries of life. My children and grandchildren are my world now. All my friends have their families who take up their time. I hold fast to all the love around me. Susan, I'm sending you and Dezi all my love. 🌷

    Somehow you have not been on my feed since you moved into your new home. I missed you! Life distracted me. Today, there you were! As always, your videos touched me. This one in particular meant a lot to me. In 2012, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. My son was away at school, my mom was ill in a nursing home, and I felt absolutely alone. I had been divorced for 20 years. Nonetheless, My former husband, and father of my son, drove from another state every time I had a doctor’s appointment, testing and surgery ( I had several ). He called me often, and we would watch Dancing with the Stars together while on the phone. He knew I was all alone. He was the reason I survived that time in my life. I will never forget what he did for me. A few years later, he was suddenly taken from us due to an horrific train accident. His kindness taught me what love truly is, and I will never be the same because of it. Thank you for sharing, your story. Yes, love is forever.
