About Me
First and foremost I am a mom. I have three great children (13 yo, 8 yo and 1 yo). My oldest child has aspergers syndrome, which adds a very interesting dynamic to our family. Thank goodness for my kids- they bring me incredible joy and they also ground me. I work full time as an executive director of a non-profit organization supporting individuals with developmental disabilities. My work is very rewarding and provides me with many professional challenges and opportunities. I am slowly working towards completing my MBA.

Support Groups
Close Breakups & Divorce
My husband decided he could "no longer handle the pressure of raising three children" and has left. He thinks he might just need a "break" and may decide he has made a mistake, but I am sure I need to move on. He has not been a very nice husband (he has cheated, lied, spent money wildly)- I am not sure he would ever be able to stop his bad behavior-so I am now faced with raising three kids on my own. I am hopeful about our future, I am just mourning the loss of what I hoped would be.
Treatments
- Family Therapy Too Soon to Tell
- We never did couples counseling.. he just left. I am working with a counselor with my kids. It's a slow process, but is helping.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- I couldn't do this without my family and friends... they are the best support system I could ever ask for!
- Talking Working / Worked
- It keeps me sane.... I need to "process" all of the time... and that gets me over the hump! I will owe my sister, mom and best friends enormously when I am on the other side of this!!
- Time Working / Worked
- Time truly does heal all wounds... thank goodness it gets better with each passing day!
Close Physical & Emotional Abuse
I joined the break up and divorce group on March 8 after my husband of 18 years walked out on me and our three children. I have since learned that he has been diagnosed with a narcissistic personality disorder which has explained a lot about our marriage. I am beginning to now acknowledge the many years of abuse that I endured, and would like to move forward to be healthy and whole again. I know that someday I will look back and be grateful that he left.
Treatments
- Abuse Counseling Working / Worked
- I am working with a counselor. Some progress being made. Stay tuned.
- Divorce Too Soon to Tell
- We are in the process of getting divorced- hopefully by June 09.
- Forgiveness Working / Worked
- I think I have forgiven him- but I am not going to forget.
- Leave Working / Worked
- He is gone- I am free.
- Talking Working / Worked
- Just starting to talk about the emotional abuse- I had kept it very private (and wasn't really aware of what it was or the extent of it until now).
