Many of us have been here for quite a while. I come for several reasons but primarily to see if I can pay it forward. Divorce is one of the most painful experiences and I certainly hope everyone would work very hard to not go through it. My ex and I have been divorced 4 years and I am still coming up with new issues with the kids as they reach different stages in their lives.
As for us knowing each others names, after a few years these people have become real friends not just support group members.. Many of my friends from those early raw days have moved on and rarely if ever come here. Some remain though and we have supported each other from new relationships to reconciliations to issues with our kids.
I hope we can be of help to you.
