I am currently going through my first year of separation with what would have been our 20th anniversary just days away. My usual reaction is to build a wall, stay unemotional and ignore my inner feelings. Knowing this is not healthy, im trying to figure how to deal with this day. Reading your posts fills me with positive energy, hope and commitment to heal. One thing i have been encountering are other single moms filled with bitterness, anger, no hope and negativity. Its hard sometimes not to join the pity party, but i am determined to move beyond that. Life is too short, there is too much life to enjoy and i want to live a long happy life, whether i end up married again or not. Having such positive, forward thinking, open minded people, like you, share their good ‘fortune’ is a true blessing

I’m so glad you took the time to visit the site & read a few posts. Hope Dug & I will see you at the park again soon. xo

I was married and divorced by the time I was 23, with a 3-year old on my hip. My husband’s marriage lasted the same amount of time. We aren’t officially married, but we’ve been together and living as husband and wife for nearly 9 years now … and we always say that if we hadn’t experienced our first marriages, we would never have been able to weather the absolute crappy times that have been thrown our way in the last six (read it and weep: SIX) years: a head injury resulting in dramatic and frequent seizures, major depression, superbug infection, 5 surgeries, single incomes … you name it … but there is nobody else I’d rather go through this with. There IS life after divorce and I think your points above are all so on-the-money … a great read.
