Hello Laura, Welcome! I don't wish to say I'm sorry for you to be over here, because "over here" is what you make it to be. I loved being married; too bad he had a "crisis" and chose a different path.
I really, really like being single. I'm happy and content with my new life. I have the girlfriends I haven't had since I was a sorority girl in college and I have to say I know myself better than I ever have.
In my opinion, stay strong and continue down the path with your father-in-law. Get out, get yourself healthy and enjoy your new life! I don't know about online forums, but the people on here are pretty darn 'divorce savvy.' Mine was tough, lots of financial crap and I'd be happy to answer all questions from you that I possibly can. Our attorney fees amounted to over $50,000, so I've learned quite a bit (expensively). lol
Take care and I'll check back. Happy New Year!!!!
