It's not over till it's over right?

Lostandconfused, I saw your post on newmamas thread. I am sorry you are here. I am also a teacher. My H left me just before spring break 2009. I told people at work slowly. First a fellow teacher noticed I was not myself and asked so I told her. Then I told the associate principal because H made some threats I wanted the school to be aware of. Then the counselors at work because I am on a team with them. Then a group of fellow teachers at lunch. That took one year. I filed just before this school year started. Some teachers still don't know, but it is getting around slowly. Everyone has beenso great and supportive.

I toofelt ashamed when H first left, but I dealt with those feelings and although I still feel weird, i don't mind it as much and I can tell people without crying. So many coworkers completely understand, but have never treated me differently besides saying they are willing to help as needed.
