This week four years ago I was looking into the eyes of the man I loved and making promises to love him in good times and in bad, keeping only unto him-blah blah blah-I was also beleiving those same Bullshit promises he was making to me.
This week three years ago-I was packing up my beautiful home that had been sold out from under me-tearing my daughter from her neigborhood and school and believing more bullshit promises of hope,effort and reconcilliation.
This week two years ago I was moving into a dump of a house, having my car repossesed, and sleeping next to my daughter on a mattress on the floor.
This week last year I was curled up in my grandpas arms sobbing because I had found out the true circumstances involved in our break-up and that my husband had embarked on a new relationship two weeks after he left me-if not prior to leaving me-which is most likley.
This week this year-I am signing a rental agreement on my new home-planning what kind of curtains I am going to hang in my new beautiful kitchen-and planning on how I am going to decorate my daughters room-I did it on my own with no one to throw in my face that i would be nothing with out them.
I don't live with a man who yells at me, or tells me to go back to my trailer where I belong-I don't live with a man that tells me he can get better than me in a minute.I don't live with a man that tells my daughter she better do her sit ups or she will look like her mom.I don't live with a man that would spend our rent on fishing tournaments or gambling.
I tell all of you this because I want each of you to know-especially those at the beginning of this terrible journey of divorce-there is light and while the pain may be too much to bare at times you will get past it-Is it over for me-heck no- I had a crying spell this weekend-and I will never be the same again-neither will my daughter-But there is hope if you keep the faith- endure the hard times and embrace the happy ones. Thank You everyone here at DS-I know I would not have had the strength to be at the moment I am at without your understanding and support.

This message was of great help to me. Emotionally I'm at the beginning of my journey. Some days I feel on top of the world, the next I'm not sure I want to be alive. The pain is overwhelming. Thanks for letting me know there is hope ahead even if it is going to take some time.

That was a beautiful story I'm also at the beginning and I keep hope that I will get better. I have to stay even through all the pain I'm still blessed. Thank you for the inspiration.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
