I'll also add, I was 27 when my exH left, 9 years together almost 4 married. Only difference was I had a 6 month old.
My daughter has saved my life. She was an IVF baby and I live and breathe for her. She is now 10, and I have ben raising her as a single woman since she was 6 months old.
And you know what? I wish to God my ex wasn't her father. I wish I had never ignored all the red flags, found my self respect and left him. Then maybe my daughter would have had a good father and intact family.
Now I am going to be 38 in 3 weeks. My daughter is beautiful, happy, and healthy, but I never remarried. Never got to have more children. My life has been dedicated to work and her. I don't have any help and dating is not easy for me.
You've got a chance for a full life here.
Really, who gives a crap who files. I don't understand why people make such a big deal out of it. It's who decided to destroy the M, not who actually filed for D who decided to get divorced.
