I suppose it's all relative. h alexandra: To how you look at things. I've finally done the filing, and waiting now. My own divorce story is probably like a number of others, nothing special. I just discovered one day that I was actually worth something. After my other half decided about 3 years into our marriage that he was in love with a woman I believed was my friend, and the shock he had when he found out I was right about her being a gold digging wretch, I took him back. I believed we could work things out. But things went back to the way they were, I was worthless and didn't do anything worthwhile according to him at any rate. I gave up a good job because of the stress he put me through complicating a medical condition. It made life pretty unbearable for a while.
We moved from south Fl to central Fl and things were okay, so long as I was working 12 hours a day 6 days a week. When that temporary position ended, I was busy with the house and our daughter. His parents both lived with us, and we got along fairly well together. We had our moments. But I remember slipping into a rather deep rut followed by a pretty good depression. I realized that to him, I wasn't worth very much. I had already spent enough time in my years of teen angst in psychotherapy to see the signs for what they were, and try though I might, I became severely depressed and suicidal.
But, you know, ever since I've moved to Lilburn with my daughter, I've had my share of frustration and aggravation, I'm realizing my life isn't so bad, and it's worth living too.
Now, if I could just speed up the process and be done with it....
Re:I suppose it's all relative. trumpy: unfortunatley, life doesn't come with fast forward buttons so you just have to tough it out. you'll get through it just like so many others. sometimes it helps to talk and chat with others that you find here, or you might find it's easier to get through it in your own. it may seem tough while you are going through it, but it gets better. life has a way of working itself out
