About Me
56 year old, RN, two children by a previous marriage, three grandchildren, Like blue jeans and Tee shirts more than high heels and lipstick. The highlight of my life is being with my family, especially my grandchildren. I am now divorced (June 26, 2008, but seperated since Nov. 6, 2007 w/ no contact with the X). I cannot say this has been an easy transition. Still have lots of questions with no answers. Guess I just have to belly up and learn to cope. I have found the folks on DS to be the best. When you need someone to vent to someone is always there to lend a helping hand, whether to pat you one the head or slap you back into reality.

Interests
I enjoy being outdoors, fishing and gardening. I love going to Lowes and Home Depot better than Nordstrums and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I think I have mentioned to your before that your account of your spouse (going to the dark side) reminds me of mine. Was reading your comment in a thread about reconciliation, and thought i would send you a hug.

Close Breakups & Divorce
Can I just say that after almost 13 years..I finally do not have enough strength to hold things together anymore.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Not Working
- He won't go.
- Family Therapy Not Working
- He won't go.
- Forgiveness Too Soon to Tell
- I first have to forgive myself for trusting someone and believing in another person so completely.
- Leave Not Working
- I have too many people who would get really concerned if I just got up and left. It would be out of character. Besides running doesn't make it better. You just bring the internal luggage with your external baggage.
- Love Not Working
- Sometimes love just isn't enough.
- Music Not Working
- Can't seem to focus enough to enjoy it.
- Pets Somewhat Helpful
- My dog loves me. If men could just be so uncomplicated :)
- Psychotherapy Not Working
- Went there and done that, but couples counseling for one doesn't work
- Reading Not Working
- Again, not able to focus on leisure tasks. I have too much to do.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- I have the best family and friends in the world. His family has never been close. He made a revealing statement at a family gathering 'he hoped that we knew just how lucky we were to have such a close and loving family--that we had something very special'. Since he hardly ever said anything, everyone stopped to listen. He'snot made to feel like an outsider--my family loves him(that is why this is such a shock)he has just always kept to himself. He admits it is a self imposed isolation.
- Support Groups Not Working
- I live in a small town. Lots of relatives and gossips--don't want to expose myself to that type of trauma...still too raw.
- Talking Not Working
- There is nothing else left for me to say--except go away and be happy
- Time Not Working
- He left once before for the same reason. Then asked to come back. Now almost two years later--he want to leave again.
