I've only been here since Sunday. Welcome and please feel free to chat with me anytime. You are right. The posts here are wonderful!

Hi, Welcome. I'm glad you decided to join. I'm new myself and this website has helped me alot.
Good luck,Shannen

another word you'll probably get sick of is time. that was the one i hated the most. the wonderful thing about ds is the various stages we are all in. beginning to starting to date again, or at least some looking forward to it. this is a very hurtful thing to go through. welcome. i hope you get what you need.

Welcome. I am pretty new here myself. It feels good to be able to talk to people and get feedback on the different emotions and issues that come up that others have gone through. I have found so much inspiration here and you will too. If I am having a bad day and need to vent I can always count on my DS friends to help me through! Welcome,

Hey Hockeymom. Just wanted to say "welcome" this is the best unforuntate place to be. let me introduce myself; I'm Jacjac-jac for short. I've been here since late summer (I think) and I've been a little quiet here lately but once I get started I like to think I have a lot to offer....and I'm not too old to learn something from someone who has moved past a lot of the hurt.

I just joined on Sunday and it is nice to know that there are others here that you can turn to for support when the people around you don't really understand

Hockeymom, Welcome to the wonderful world of DS!~! You will find a LOT of people that are going through the same/simular or other things. BUT, no matter what the other people on DS are going through, WE ALWAYS find time to talk to our friends & help them out. When we help other people out, it takes our mind off of our problems for a while. I wish you the best of luck. "Keep Your Chin UP!~!" I'm here if you need to talk!~!

hello, I joined this morning and thank god I did..These people on here are amazing!!
honestly, I really feel so much better after having some
support and such caring people..This will be good!!

Aloha Hockeymom, I joined over a week ago, and it really helps. I have felt HOPE from the posts - so welcome!

Welcome to DS. I've been here a few weeks, best place to be. I've been on other sites, but none compare to this. These people are real in their stories, feelings and inspirations. We get down, we cry but we steady each other to stand up again and take another step forward. You'll see...keep in touch, you'll be glad you did!

Welcome to all of the new membeers here. I've been with DS since the beginning of this year. This is the most wonderful place to get advice, support, and a good dose of laughter on your bad days.

I'm glad all of you joined us.

Welcome to the site - truly a remarkable place to be, so many hurting, its nice to have those around who know exactly what you are feeling. It is certainly a roller coaster ride, you just take one day at a time, and moment by moment to get through it. When you need help or support or a laugh there's always someone here to give that to you.

I totally agree with you...those who have moved past the hurt and betrayal give hope to others...they probably don't even realize just how much they help us with their stories and support.There's so many good people here...it's so good to know there's a place to go when you feel so alone and confused.

I have been here since Agust and these people are lifesavers.
Enough said

I have been here for the last two days. Just reading some of the posts has helped me focus. It has been about a week since my husband told me he wanted a divorce. He want children and I cannot have any (hystorectomy--probably too much info). Don't know how things are going to progress. He says I will be taken care of but things have a way of changing. Right now I am just taking it one day at a time. Packing up his stuff and removing all reminders. I know I will survive--but right now-I wonder if that will be enough. My parents, children and grandchildren--are the one thing that keeps me going. I can't just lay down and feel sorry for myself. They were as shocked and hurt as I was. We all love and trusted him. He convinced them, as he convinced me that he had never wanted kids of his own. I honestly think it hurt my Mom and grandson most. But like I said I will just keep busy and keep check in with all of you.
