Well Darboy,

I got the divorce last year but this had been going on since 2002. It's taken him this long AND a divorce to finally realize that all you have is your family. I however am at a totally different place and have a very happy life.

None of us know what the future will bring and even I could have a moment of weakness where I want to sit down and get it all out, who knows. For right now, I am happy with the freedom, and the love that has continued to surround me. I remember all too well what it was like walking on eggshells and trying to make an unhappy man happy. I wished so badly that I could turn it around but some people have to lose everything to understand what they had.

I'm in central Illinois.
