thank you, hopeless. yes, i can't sleep through the nights anymore. and my mind races when i awaken so i figure i might as well put it to good use and seek advice and guidance on here.

i live in florida.

i don't look forward to the settlement part. i don't think my husband is aware or how much he will have to give me. it will be much harder on him, financially, but it's his choice so he will have to live with it.

i will have to live within a smaller budget, too. not what i had pictured for my retirement and not what he had promised me 15 years ago. i wish i had gotten that promise in writing!

thank you for your support. this is my lifeline here. i read everyone's stories and get inspired, consoled, and scared yet, hopeful.

i hope you have a calm day (that's what i want).
