That is the paradox We would not wish it to have happened, but as it has, the secret is to find the true gift in the abandonment.
So So True!!!!!
Since my ex left, I've learned to play the drums in a pop-punk band and the vibraphone for a folk/indie singer-songwriter friend. (I've gone on tour a few times with her and will be in the recording studio with her this summer).
I've got a fulfilling business of my own. I have less money than when I was married but I sleep better at night knowing I am making sound financial decisions that can't be derailed by an impetuous spouse.
I've learned to apply eyeliner and had my hairdresser cut layers into my hair (yes, I was a hopeless hippie-mama before). I may not be quite as thin as in my younger days, but in some ways, I'm prettier than ever.
I'm dating a handsome sexy man who calls me his Princess (and treats me like one).
I never would have imagined, in those dark days when I was fighting so hard for my marriage, that so many good things would come my way as a result. It hasn't been easy, and he still manages to make my life difficult at times, but the further away from it I get, the better I feel about the divorce.
