    • About Me

      I had been a office automation tech for 31 years but I am now living my dream by being an IT tech. I work for a contractor that does service for a large tech company in RTP, NC and I am loving every day of it. There is not one way my life is not better off since my divorce, which was final, Aug 27, 2007 at 1:23 pm. Ironic that life is the same for my ex too. Looks like we both had some growing to do. I like to fish but am not a hot weather type. When it starts hitting 90, I like to stay in the air conditioning :) I like to talk, but I really like to listen too I have 3 girls 29, 26, 26 (twins) and 5 grandchildren. I am currently involved in a new long term relationship. It has made all the difference in my life. Sometimes, you just need to jumpstart things and start from scratch I am now working full time in the IT industry and doing what I have always wanted. I still have my moments. I still wonder why my ex has to prosper so much despite her involvement with other men while we were married. Does not seem fair to m. I still want her to have a crappy life, still resent her for destroying our family. I resent the fact that she kept me trapped in a rural area using the excuse that she wanted to stay close to the kids and grandkids, and then, the moment I was gone, she got herself a high paying nursing supervisor job in a large city. I love my life, but I write all this to let others know that it is natural to have hard feelings, even for years. Life is good, but it is not without struggles. If not for this site, and a few very fine friends here, I would not have made it

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      SKYPE ME I have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. I had been married 32 years. We both married young, she was 18 and I was 20. Once the children came, we started to drift apart. As she closed up, I got more angry . She went back to school to be a nurse with the intention of leaving me. We seperated in 98 and got back together in 99. But I think by then, it was over.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      Did not work I was a bandadaid on a failed marriage
      Leave Working / Worked
      I moved 1100 miles, got a new job, and started back to school. A woman named Leigh changed my life and helped me restart myself. I will always have deep gratituide for the new start she gave me.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Therapy helped me over the worst and now I am on the right path
      Talking Working / Worked
      One thing that I think that can make the difference is to find others in the same situation, be kind to them, help them, talk to them and then, often, you can get the same back. I know that talking helps me find peace.
