I"m new to the group. I've read alot of what others have posted and it's sad that there are so many going through such tough times. But yet in a strange way....it makes me feel that I'm not alone. Im recently divorced. We were together for 20 years (married for 15). My story is long and very complicated. I think it would be hard for others to understand it all anyway. It has been a very tough road the last few years....but my children and I are in a much better situation now. As I mentioned, my story is very complicated. I have so much hatred towards my ex and that's hard for me to deal with emotionally because I"m a very caring person. I feel lost most days and just sad. I feel empty. My children are the joy of my life and I do have wonderful friends. But that alone/empty feeling just never goes away. I guess the best way to describe it is that I feel numb all the time. What I feel is not all just from the divorce itself, but alot of other factors too. My ex and I rarely speak and he rarely sees his children. On a recent occasion that we did talk.....I told him that the part I cant get over...is how he could be so hurtful to someone that he supposedly loved. 20 years is a long time.

So I guess Im hoping with this group is to just have others to talk to/with.
Maybe some time I will post in my journal the full story...not sure I'm up for that yet though.

I just hope every day for a brigher tomorrow.
