In the interview, Steve Cojocaru spoke about his diagnosis of polycystic kidney disease, his career, and his outlook on life.

post-divorce

February 3, 2008 – 1:43 pm

It was hard, without doubt, to go through the divorce.  I read somewhere that death is less traumatic in some ways than divorce.  Having experienced deaths of family members, I can say that it’s different, but equally as traumatic, as a sudden death or suicide.  I think it’s because there’s not the factor of being [...]

crazy in the triangle

February 2, 2008 – 2:51 pm

This past week, I read several blog entries about how ex-wives/bio-moms and current wives/stepmoms learned to bury the hatchet and get along.  I’ve been thinking about my situation and how horrible it was the first few years after the divorce.  It felt like I was living in one of Dante’s circles of hell.
I’m quite sure [...]

divorce

January 22, 2008 – 6:16 am

I’ve been reading some new-to-me blogs lately. A lot of these new blogs are about stepfamilies and the problems/solutions within them. It’s been a long time since I posted about my divorce.
Here’s my short-story:
I divorced XH (final in July 2001) after he cheated with his current wife when they were both stationed [...]

Today XH called to talk about when he could see the kids before he goes to school. He’s been off work for the past month. He said he’s leaving to drive to GA on Thursday & that he’ll just stop in to see the kids then. When I told him that I’m having surgery on [...]

titanium to jade

February 3, 2007 – 11:27 am

On the forum that I help moderate, I recently changed my name. Here is what I posted in regard to the name change.
During my first year at this forum, I chose the name Titanium - because of something I’d said once to my mom: If that which doesn’t kill me makes me strong, [...]

Today I’ve officially been a single parent

July 11, 2005 – 5:27 pm

for 4 years. My divorce was final on July 11, 2001. I was awarded sole custody b/c MHP didn’t show up & request joint custody. The judge said that if he didn’t care enough to even show up that he was awarding me sole custody. I think it also has to [...]

The kids will be here

June 18, 2005 – 11:30 am

around 3:00 this afternoon. I just spoke with the camp director/our preacher. He said they left a little later than planned (one hour later).
I’m kind of excited about seeing them again. I had a great week.. relaxing, peaceful, quiet. Having only my clothes to launder and no messes to clean up has been really nice.
Times [...]
