A lot has happened in the past year. I discovered inner strength I didn’t know I had. I discovered I could be heartless and selfish when I have to be and that it’s okay to be heartless and selfish sometimes. I discovered that putting myself first is possible. I discovered that some people understood that and others didn’t. I discovered that no matter how much I explain it some people will never understand why I left my marriage and no one else needs to understand it. I did this for me and no one else.

Last week we stood in front of a judge and told her there was no chance of reconciliation. She granted us the divorce.

Last weekend I spent time with good friends who all are in various stages of their divorces. We talk about a little about what happened to our marriages, but mostly we talk about what we want for our lives. Talking with them over the past year gave me the emotional support I needed to see this through. I hope that I am as much support for them as they were for me.

I have discovered different women handle their divorces differently. Some want to forget their marriages altogether, others mourn the loss of what they once had and what could have been, for me I will work on remembering the good parts and learning from the bad parts.

Carole King – It’s Too Late

There’ll be good times again for me and you
But we just can’t stay together
Don’t you feel it too
Still I’m glad for what we had
And how I once loved you

I didn’t see how I was going to get out of this and make it on my own. So many friends told me they had been there and that it will get better, but part of me didn’t see how it could. Then I talked to my parents and my brother and his wife, they are more supportive than I could hope for. Today I met with my lawyer for the first time. He was honest about the facts but showed me that it’s not the end of the world. The economy sucks and we aren’t the only couple forced to live together longer than they want to over it. But he has me working on gather more information and filling out more paperwork.

I really do think I’ll be alright…
