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...

Update

I haven't  posted for awhile.  As most of you know my X passed away in January. Everyone was dealing with their emotions. 


After that my daughter got a protective order against her boyfriend so I have been trying to be supportive of her.  Looks like I will be helping out financially  soon.


And then, on Good Friday my brothers wife was admitted with acute leukemia which blindsided everyone.


I have been going back and forth to the hospital. My brother has lost it a few times and it is devastating to see him this way and not be able to fix it for him or them.  She was given a month to live without treatment so she decided to start treatment but she has already developed side effects from the chemo with the cells causing mucus in her throat and not being able to talk or swallow. 


I am trying to hold it together for them and only breakdown when I am your myself.


This site has been a Godsend for me through my separation and divorce and just where life has taken me since.


Please keep us all in your prayers.

Hugs my friend, prayers for you and your family. I hope that she pulls through. Remember to look after yourself too. You need TLC. As for daughter, I hope that her ex will have the sense to leave her alone.

This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to live through. She is the one who has been there for me. She and my brother kept me going through my separation and divorce. I hate this!!

I feel so bad for my brother. She is his whole world, they have been together for almost 40 years. I am afraid of what will happen to him after she is gone.

Marie - my deepest sympathies for all that you've been dealing with. It's just too much. You know that life is not all clouds though and the sun will shine again. Many hugs to you. And sorry for your brother's pain too.

Thank you cmonge. I am heading to their house in a little while. The hospice nurse is coming today. It just doesn't seem real. The diagnosis blindsided everyone, it came out of the blue.
