I thought I would introduce myself again. I posted in Newcomers briefly when I was still in the early stages of my situation and then stopped. I still read everyday though. Mostly in this forum.
I'll summarize my story briefly. My ex husband and I were married for 15 years when I found out he was having an affair with the mother of one of our daughter's friends. This was happening while I was taking care of my mother who had lung cancer. My mother passed away 3 months after BD and I found out the OW was expecting on the night of her funeral. It took me another 4 months to realize that he wasn't coming back. We had a very amicable divorce a year ago July and I have 95% of the time with my girls which I love. There is a second new baby now. My daughters have 2 half brothers that they love dearly.
The girls and I are doing really well now. I have learned how to do all types of things now that I am a single gal. I take very good care of my yard, do minor repairs around the house and we just survived Hurricane Irma by ourselves in our house. I have such a feeling of accomplishment now and I think my girls are seeing it to. I am a better person now than I was when I was married.
I will try to be a more active poster. Thank you all for sharing your stories. They are what really helped me through the last 2 years.
