Been a long time since I've been here, Rock. Hope you are well. Lots new, but nothing specific I feel like posting about. I'm doing well. Son is doing well. My cat and dog have both passed on, sadly, and I'm not ready for new pets. My new job has 3 dogs in the office, so I will get my fix 5 days a week, happily, but I miss my fur babies. I know that when I can listen to Chris Stapleton's Maggie's Song without choking up or bawling like a baby it will be time for a new furry friend.
I guess I feel it is important to say something to people on the "other side" of the big D. 10 years out, here's some quick thoughts:
1. You will never really know if or how much you've healed in terms of relationships until you get into the next one.
2. Divorce is the gift that keeps on giving. There are so many layers to this loss. Doesn't mean one can't heal, process and prosper. Just means that sometimes something unexpected might pop across your bow that you have to deal with.
3. There will inevitably come a time when each of us feels deep gratitude to the ex for leaving.
