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.

I joined this group back when there were about 30 members and that was when I was as raw as they come....I have healed and as Chrissy messaged me we have walked this path together...many of us. I will be popping in from time to time to offer my thoughts and opinions. I don't know what I would have DUN with out many of you ....and SLD! you got my number too.....but likewise I have yours....LOL There are so many that I started with that are still battling,,, I have watched you grow from crying 24X7 to strong people... surprising the hell out of your X/STBX turning into formidable foes, ones to be reckoned with.....

I have been lurking about and will continue.....I have been spending time on the Breakup and Divorce page....for the humor and camaraderie ........

So Thanks for all you support, kind words and the kick in the pants when I needed it.......

Til next time may you find peace at the end of your journey....as I have always said the is life after divorce and mine is turning out GREAT.....

Jack, Thank you so much for all of your thoughts and wisdom. You have truly been an inspiration to me. I will miss seeing you on here, but are thrilled for you and Chrissy! My heartfelt appreciation to you! Love, Mary

P.S. When I read when you wrote awhile back, "Let your soul shine, it's better than sunshine...," well, Jack, I have to tell you, those words took my breath away and made soooo much sense to me! Thank you for sharing that and I try to do just that every day! Hugs to you!

Pem, come back in FIVE years. I plan to be as strong, brave, sincere and wise as you.

And visit me on BU/D, I'll keep you laughing.

Jack, I cannot thank you enough for the many words you have given me over the course of time on DS! You have always been there and some day you will find that special someone and make them very happy! You allowed me to know they aren't all ASSES! You are a terrific man and I wish you nothing but the best! Thank you for all you have done for me!

I haven't been on much lately, but I am sure once school is out I will be on a bit more.

All the best to you, Jack! Love and hugs to you!
