About Me
Married 38 years. I left. I left him, my home and everything I own. It took a TIA before I realized I couldn't do it anymore. My intent was to hurt no one. Just survive. Each day God gave me of peace, was a gift. Ten months into my divorce, my husband died. Yet another horrific experience and tragedy in my life. Moving forward day by day. Hoping to find some peace and happiness somehow, someway, someday.

Hi Nan,
Just a note to check in. I have learned much about seeking peace within myself from your posts and kind replies. I hope you are well and taking care of yourself. We've been so soggy here in IA lately - going to have to clean out that garage to get the car parked in it. Kids seem to be doing a bit of settling for the moment. Hope you are well.

Close Breakups & Divorce
Filed for divorce after 37 years of marriage. I left. We lived apart for 10 months when my stbx died. He was on the road of self-destruction when I left. Over medicating, drinking, threatening and irrational behavior. Two married sons, with 3 beautiful grandchildren (2 on the way). I work and volunteer at our local theaters and children's crisis center.
Treatments
- Leave Working / Worked
- Leaving was the best thing I could have done. I regret I did not leave earlier.
- Music Working / Worked
- Music is the light of my life. Without it, the sun wouldn't be as bright, the sky wouldn't be as blue and the night wouldn't be as beautiful.
- Pets Working / Worked
- 2 miniature schnauzers - I love so much. They make me smile everyday.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Don't know how I would have gotten this far without them. God Bless them. I will never forget their caring and concern. Although, I've lost quite a few somehow, the best are forever with me. And, the wonderful friends here on DS give me so much hope and support that goes beyond words.
- Support Groups Working / Worked
- Local Divorce Support Group & DS are so very helpful. Mostly DS. Can journal, vent, rant, rave, cry, comment, get support - give support 24/7. And, with some of the most wonderful people you could imagine exist.
- Talking Working / Worked
- Talking with others in similar situations is by far the greatest source of healing. If you haven't walked in the same shoes of a hurting person, it's sometimes harder to understand the emotions involved. DS is the place I need to be and I'm so thankful for the wonderful, loving and caring people I have met here. They give me so much strength and support without judgment or cause - just love and concern.
Close Life After Divorce
Married 38 years, Filed for divorce in Feb. 2008. Spent many years dealing with booze, women, abusive and irrational behavior. As H got older and had health issues to deal with - he got worse. For 6 years I nursed him to better health, after which time he started drinking again, smoking, over eating, over medicating. He threatened me daily. I slept with pepper spray and put me in the hospital with a TIA (mini stroke). Left my home and everything in it. He died in Dec. 2008..
