Hey Bets - Kids are - okay. Thanks goodness they were older when this finally happened. The youngest was the most shook up - totally blindsided. But we're all getting through.
My oldest took a couple years off from college - anxiety problems, not caused by the divorce but not helped by it - he's going back in the fall. Daughter is in her first year of college, all A's, kicking butt - thank god! I wasn't quite sure how she'd do.
Youngest is in community college and bored stiff. He's doing a lot with his music though.
I'm dating a guy, long distance, kinda silly really since I KNOW he won't work out (he's been single for 20 years) but I think he's just the greatest and as long as I can go visit him once in a while, I'm happy for now.
Babygirl - your ex is gonna get hit hard for that, I bet. My ex is being quite reasonable, really. And he's okay with filing separately, since then he can deduct all the support he paid me. So it works out.
