Advantages?

Yeah, I know it's hard to believe.

I would not choose D, and I do wish I was on piecing. I miss my partner and best friend, and I wish my kids had their dad full-time. Of course the financial situation stinks too - starting over there...ugh...

Back then I couldn't see how I could have a life post D. I couldn't see the future. But now, I see a great future.

To answer your question, advantges...

Nobody to make me feel inferior.
Nobody telling me that I'm broken or not good enough.
Nobody thinking my parents are beneath them.
Nobody complaining if I don't make the bed.
Nobody flirting with other women in front of me.
Nobody to make me feel like I can't do anything right.
The feeling of strength and independence for the first time.
Growing in ways that I didn't know I could.
Seeing things that I missed along the way or couldn't see when I was married.

Should I keep going? You know how much I love lists!

I'm off tomorrow, so I have all night to type! LOL
