Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
This is a big deal for me, I'd been working part time for the last 14 years while raising my kids (sometimes up to 60 hours/week with multiple jobs) but I've landed a full time job starting in September. I'm in the process of getting divorced, so the prospect of not having employer sponsored medical insurance was a huge headache for me. Although this job pays peanuts, it establishes a base income for me, rather than the fluctuating income I've had all these past years. I can still earn money on the side and in the summers, so I can bump my salary up some. It's working full time where I've been part time for the past 8 years, so I know everyone, and they seem excited to have me there - that's a necessary ego boost. I figure while I'm transitioning my life from married 29 years to single, while my oldest settles in to his college life, while I deal with stbx's delays and stonewalling, I have a good solid work foundation.
Does anyone else have success they'd like to share? Big or small?
The same place, that is so great I can see your
strength And resolve Growing in your shares.
Well i kept my life the same except i moved. I had
Two jobs one for health insur and one for money And
i was self supporting for the last 6 years before I left.
I would not change my jobs, i would not have liked to
Start a new job in my condition and be under a microscope
I still got good reviews they both knew the story i was being
open And Honest with both my bosses.
I had enough issues And to be fearful at a new job would
have been too much for My fragile emotional state of mind.
Actually I just lost my money job She died so i am just floating
around just working the other One 3 days a week that does not
pay well. We will see what the future holds one day to a time .
I really have no brag stories except i survived and was self
supporting and now i am taking a break until i find another
private Duty case. I am thinking of moving out of state so
Who knows how life will unfold for me. HUGS
Wish I had a success to share personally, but I agree with Mirandac, who is a success!!, that getting through itself, without losing it, is a huge success. Divorce ain't for wimps, I'll tell you that!
Continued success Jojored!
I've been divorced almost nine years and I managed to get this farm into my name only. It's my farm, my home and the ex can never bother me again. I can set my own schedule and live my life the way I want too. MY days are long and hard but I love my life. I had a phone call last night to come see my farm and maybe I'll have another paying horse on here. With will power and determination anything is possible.
Congrats!
Like Trisha, I have my own home and I'm making it on my own. I don't answer to anybody, and can finally focus on myself. It's been a long time coming. Sometimes I still can't believe it.
Here's to all of us!
If I had one wish for everyone on this site, it would be that they could see all the positives that they bring to the table, all of the good inside them. That the self-doubt, self-criticism would just fall by the wayside. That we can all go forward and grow and have amazing lives!!
Thank you to everyone who has ever read or responded to my posts, you guys have truly been life-savers. No single person in my life could have ever listened to me bitch and moan like you guys do, and have offered such sage, patient advice. Yay to all of us for each and every step we take forward!!!
