So here I am folks. Officially divorced and officially done.

Today was day one. My phone is turned off and there is no reason to stay in contact anymore. You'd all be proud of me. He doesn't have my new phone number so he e-mailed me three times today. I simply deleted every single one.

He doesn't have the right anymore to know about my life. My family has been so strong for me the last eight months and now it's my turn. My mom's double masectomy was today and the surgery went well. We'll know in two weeks how much chemo she'll have to endure but the outlook thus far is good.

I have to send a shout out to all the wonderful people in this forum. I know it was theraputic for me to post here and read all of your replies. I'm so greatful to all the strangers who took the time to read my sob story and give me pep talks. You all saved my life! Thank you so much!

I'm hopeful for the future that I can stay strong and keep my distance from exH. I have bigger things to worry about and I refuse to allow what happened to me to rule my life.

If you can't run, crawl. If you can't do that, find someone to carry you. I've had such wonderful support over the last eight months. My turn to carry.


When you are happy as an individual, you are in a better position to determine whether a partner enhances your happy life or weighs it down.
