Welcome to Surviving, M. You've been thru so much, I am honored to meet you
There truly IS life after divorce. Pain, regret, sadness too, but life goes on, and it is what we make it, so make it fun and fulfilling!
I'm glad you're learning that you were not the horrible person your ex made you out to be, and that all of the failures were not your fault, as they're still there long after you've gone. Don't worry, you'll dig yourself out of that financial hole!
