Divorce after Twenty years together Community Group

I want to start something for those of us that were married for a long long time. I think that we face a little different issues than those who were dating for a few years or even married for shorter period of time.

A milestone day

i had a Drs appointment at ten this morning. I was out early feeding horses and taking off their extra blankets. 


I almost missed why this day is special to me. I've now been divorced ten years today. When I filed ten years ago I was determined to make a life for myself away from the ex. 


It's been difficult at times and money was tight but I've made the life I wanted. My farm is paid off and so is my truck. I've worked hard to get this far and I love what I am doing on this land I cleared of the oaks and pines. 


I hope all of you can make the life that you want for yourself

It's a great feeling when you know you can do it on your own.

It's will be 2 years divorced for me on 12/30, 3 years on my own and with Gods grace
I am starting to experience this for myself.

How very encouraging to know that there is life on the other side. I love reading everyone's post. I'll be going on 7 years!! I can remember sobbing thinking OMG what will happen to me when it's 5 years! It makes me think of that song "How's it going to be" by Third Eye Blind. I'm just in a better place now too and look forward to achieving my 10 years!!! Congrats to you!

Congratulations, Pat, on reaching your goals at the 10-year mark! I know you have worked very hard to get where you are and am sending you a big Woo Hoo! across the miles.

I reached the 10-year mark last March and my life is so much better than ever before. I am living my dream of having A Great Adventure out here in the West -- exploring, meeting new people and making new friends.
