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. Being married for so long we have older children some have grandkids dealing with teenagers and their reaction to the divorice empty nesters dating after 40...

Support and guidance? I know lawyers cost
Money for stuff like this.
It is financial fraud, is he personality disordered?
Some are out to destroy And are very vindictive.
Wow no honeymoon phase for you if he started
To play financial games way back when. Is he a
Crook? All these things you say about him sound
Pretty Serious.
I have no experience myself

Wishing you the best, but this sounds too big to fight yourself.
I finally got Equafax and the other credit report agencies to listen to me. They checked out the dates of my 'confirmed' addresses and realized I did not live in a medical building at the same time I lived in my home of 30 years. They realized the loans and credit cards made on my credit report were impossible for me to have made. They cleared it up. My ex is now guilty of fraud and identity theft but I am letting it go. Someone believes me now and I don't want to have anything to do with attorneys and the court system again.....not if it means seeing my ex.
The important thing is I can now rent my own room and not have my daughter cosign for me.
I informed the IRS and they are dealing with my ex and his taxes. I am not being held responsible.
On Sat we spread my mom's ashes under the Golden Gate bridge and he will not be there.
He will be at the wedding in August, but he has lost some of that control he always has over me. I feel as if it will be ok. I can do it.
Now I just have to start eating again. My daughter and I took my measurements for my Mother of the Bride dress and didn't believe those numbers existed! 31-24-31 at 5'6". Unbelievable what our ex's do to our lives. The stress they cause and how long it can last.
But remember, we are all survivors! All of us here are. We made it this far and we will continue to go forward until we can live again. I will never be happy, but I am in control of my most of my life again.
Don't ever give up. When you feel the entire world is against you, whisper to yourself 'Give it one more try'
I still would not trust him though and i
Would have my lawyer keeping An eye
on things. Especially If you are not backing
it up with real Legal action he might give it
another Try.
Sometimes narcissistic ex spouse do not
Stop playing games.
Hugs you should be proud of yourself

Your ex will try something else because you haven't hit him hard enough. Each day you get stronger and if you need to go back to court you will be able to do that without being upset. You are taking care of the business of putting you life back together. I know you are proud of what you have accomplished so far. I do hope he doesn't cause you more trouble. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. That was what I had to do and I hope you don't have to go thru anymore of his BS. Many (((HUGS))) are being sent your way,
I'm almost 8 years out now and I know what you mean about being able to be at the same place as him. One day you'll surprise yourself with no fear of him at all and no regrets either.
I saw my ex yesterday. The ow is already making comments that tell me he is beginning to show his true colours in their relationship. I am so glad I don't have to put up with all that any more.
Love and hugs

Hope this time with your daughter brings you closer and much joy.
