Hi Mat... I would like to say I am still standing for my marriage, but I finally understand there is no marriage to stand for. H left the marriage a looooong time ago (to be honest I don't think he was ever REALLY in it). I can face that now, I couldn't before.

I am ready to move forward with life. It will not be the life I thought I wanted, but what I have/had is not that life either.

First step is to disentangle our finances (bet ot is saying "about freaking time") smile I have an appt with a financial counselor next week. Someone to whom I can lay it all out and get advice on my options and how to navigate through the D.

Then I file. I am almost anxious to get this part started. I know it is not going to be easy, but from everyone here I know there is life beyond what I have now.

I am going through Divorce Care now and these sessions are invaluable. One thing they say is "healthy attracts healthy and sick attracts sick". It won't be soon, but when I am ready to attract someone I want to be healthy!
