    • About Me

      I am divorced mom of two wonderful boys. In my mid-40's I am literally starting my life over again and looking forward to all the positive changes it has in store for me. I chose happiness over sadness and I like to take the high road on most ideas and ways of life. I am full of life and am hoping someday to find someone to compliment me as I would them. It's a long road to recovery and I am taking this one day at a time, one step at a time. I enjoy times with my boys and alone time, but not too much, I'm such a people person.

      Gardening, cooking, wine, sports, outside activities, summer days and sunny days at the beach. I love to camp but find myself most at peace sitting in a chair at the edge of the ocean just listening to the waves lap on the shore.

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      I have been separated for almost a year now, divorce is imminent but the battle has just begun. I've realigned my life in the past two years to make myself a better person and truthfully my husband no longer fit in it. He was lazy, laid off for more months in any given year than not. Some have said I simply threw him away, but in the whole body/life makeover there was simply nothing left in common with us except our son. I've found a new purpose in life and am learning how to do this alone.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      We tried this route, it seemed the more we spoke openly the less we actually had in common.
      Leave Working / Worked
      It worked, it actually allowed us both time to heal, although he still holds grudges
      Music Working / Worked
      Music is always therapy for me, whether I am listening or singing along.
      Pets Working / Worked
      I have a dog, I always have, he is my salvation on a lonely day.
      Reading Somewhat Helpful
      I always like to read, just not always what is right for me.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Family has always been very supportive.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I am a talker, I speak openly whether it is good or bad the verdict is still out on that one.
      Time Working / Worked
      Heals, but it doesn't always allow us to move forward!
    • Close Gastric Bypass Surgery

      I had gastric bypass surgery Nov 06, I have been fortunate with no problems. I have lost 120lb and now the challenge daily is to maintain this healthy new lifestyle.

    • Open Healthy Relationships

      I am 44, separated almost a year and starting to think about getting back out there. My divorce should be final soon, I hope sooner than later, but he keeps changing things.....I have two wonderful boys and love life again!

      Treatments

      Writing Working / Worked
      I love to write how I feel, no matter how silly, stupid or great it is. It always makes me feel better to put it down in words.
    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      I was married for 8 years together for 11, it didn't start out that way, but as time progressed my friends disappeared, my life was in shambles and I just never seemed to do anything right. I left him last year, it's been a long year of healing and realizations and I'm still working on it.

      Treatments

      Divorce Working / Worked
      In process
      Leave Working / Worked
