The bid "D" can be sooooooooo traumatic (understatement), but can be the precurser of something much better to come-major growth/insights/JOY .

I went through a rather nasty one myself several years back that involved extortion, blackmail, and stalking by the former hubby (aka bottom feeder). 

Dunno for others, but the degree of pain has turned around to transform into the same intensity of JOY, peace, understanding.  Hoping the same will occur with you. 

glad to hear things are shaping up for the better.

Greg! So good to hear your news, especially about your health!

You know what Greg? That you've found your "freedom", that you're feeling healthier, and that you know you've made the right choice is more "return" than one could ever hope for .

Really, this is just a snip-snap-happy thing to read. I have a biggest grin on my face and my heart is full for reading your news.

Welcome back!

This whole divorce thing has consumed virtually all my free time and energy up until recently. I moved out on my own about a week ago and are finally settled. This new freedom is still somewhat of a shock to my system. Im not use to being alone, it's an experience i have not felt in a long time. The quietness of this new life has proven to be a bit lonley, but it's certainly not all bad and I feel with time I'll adjust and fully apperciate it. Already I'm taking much better care of myself and my health has noticeably improved even to those around me. I know I made the right choice.

Thanks to all of you who offered me support and helped me find the strenght to face this.  I've leaned on you guys alot latley and while I might waiver in my own strenght sometimes, you guys can lean on me anytime. I hope one day I can return the favor!
