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...

To all my D.S. friends and especially Chrissy614 who posted the link to the eHarmony contest: Your votes and comments are the real prize in this contest for me and Tom. We don't care about winning the prize -- What we have wanted most of all, is to SHARE OUR STORY with others who are going through (and who WILL SURVIVE) the same kind of heartbreak and pain that we both went through when our long term marriages broke down. It was a long, painful road for both of us...but neither of us ever GAVE UP HOPE! This is the relationship that both of us always wanted...even though neither of us ever considered destroying our marriages to search for it. Let our story be your inspiration as you walk through each day in your individual Journeys. No matter how dark the road ahead seems, there is light at the end of it. Focus on the light and keep your faith. Do what I did: Each and every day during the darkest period of my life, I told myself "Something wonderful will happen for me. I just have to be strong and do what I know is right." Sure enough, the "something wonderful" happened and my repayment is to do whatever I can to help others who are going through the same kind of Hell and torment I did to get to the other side! Much love and thanks for your votes!

We are happy for you that you found each other and happiness but by not only that but sharing your story with us and inspiring us not to give up and teach us there is life after divorce. Thanks so much!
