Thank you Gordie!

I have been working on myself a lot! In that way DB has been a blessing. I definitely did my share of damage in the marriage. Didn't know how to express myself in a healthy way, carried a lot of resentment, etc. Lots of stuff I'm working on. I have consulted a lawyer so am somewhat aware of my rights although it's tricky with the financials for a variety of reasons. There were definitely parts of myself that I put aside. I am working to get those back although I'm still in the shell shocked stage. I find that journaling is helping me a lot. I get up before the boys, have a nice cup of coffee and journal for about a half an hour or more. I find it a really good way to get back in touch with myself. Thank you all for the support, holy crap, this is one tough road.
