Life after first year dgiirl: So I finally made it to the one year mark! I assume paper work gets filed today and I'll be officially divorced soon. I really dont know the details. All I do know is I MADE IT!!
You can read my history to know my story. But all of those in the beginning stages, believe me when I say it will get better. Just hold on! I would never have believed I would have healed so much in this past year. I wont pretend that my life is perfect and that I'm living happily ever after. But I dont feel that pain anymore and i DO see a future. A year ago, I couldnt even imagine someone holding my hand and kissing me. The thought made me physically ill. I thought I would never find a love like my exh. But what I've learned over the past year is I might, and more importantly, regardless of anyone else being in my life or not, I'm in charge of my happiness and I'm in control. My exh was just a man I met once. I was ok before him and I'll be ok after him. And I might even have more fun without him! ;)
My advice is stay strong, pray, learn, and actively take your life back! You are in control and you can make it. Just hold on!!

I hit the one year mark on Feb 2...and I'm in the same state as dgiirl..I can barely believe that things are how they are now. A year seems like a loooong time when you're first starting out. But looking back, the time seems like a flash..many memories, many of those painful ones...but good memories happen too..more and more as time goes on with fewer painful ones keeping you down. Have a little faith in this...as much as you can muster right now...it does get better!
Thanks for the post, dgiirl.
Re: Life after first year N U M B: I can't wait to be where the two of you are at... My official and [I pray"> final get out of my life timeline started two weeks ago. Granted, we've separated 3 times in the past 7 years, but this time he's clear across the country.
That is awesome!
Re: Life after first year bleedingheart: I'd like to say congrats to those of you who made it through your first year. I myself have 350 days left and counting. I can hardly wait.
