moving on successfully? scjackson: I am a junior in college. I am going through a divorce. It was my 2nd bad relationship and I was not dealing so well. I gave my parents guardianship of my kids (from first relationship) so I could concentrate on me -for once. I just want to say that it sucks. I feel so selfish, but I know in my heart it is the right thing until I get on my feet with life. The bitterness I feel has been going away, I'm just terrified of the unknown. Life without my kids in it daily.
I took last semester off because I was so depressed I couldn't even think. I'm getting ready to jump in next semester, the first on without husband (who encouraged me) or kids. Does neone have advice for staying positive throughout change?
Thanks,
Sierra
Re: moving on successfully? JNA: You are young and change is going to happen throughout your life...
But anytime you throw throw kids in the mix then the problem "doubles" and not saying that in a bad way...
I honestly feel you did the right thing just in my opinion
Everyone needs time to get things straight...and if your parents are ok with it then everyone is happy
Change is ever happening and some we have "no" control over
I know it is hard at times but you rough through the bad times too get to the good
I hope this helps
Stay Strong

Re: moving on successfully? scjackson: Thank you for your encouraging words. It is really nice to hear from someone not closely involved with the situation. I feel like I am starting over for the first time because I am learning to take care of me.
It is also helpful to be reminded that no matter what this isn't the end of the world. It's hard, but this will make me tremendously strong. Again, thank you for your encouragement.
Have a Happy Holiday Season!
Re: moving on successfully? JNA: Sometimes starting over is a "good" thing though...
Even though "difficult" it is a new life and just takes some getting use too
Happy Holidays to you also...
It will be just fine in time...
Give it some time ok
