Life After Divorce Support Group
This community is dedicated to starting over after a divorce. With the marriage over, how do individuals begin a new chapter in their lives and what hurdles do they face? Divorce is often one of the most traumatic periods in a person's life. Studies show it is the second-most stressful event in life, after the death of a spouse.
Hi! I am new to group but not to DS. I had an account many years ago and made great friends and some I still stay in contact with today.
Alittle about me, I am 43 and a single mom of one, she's 16 going on 25. I am recently single and will be filing for divorce as soon as I can afford it.
He was very manipulating and was good at it. I left him once but he sucked me back in, but not this time, I won't let that happen again. I feel much more free now that I have felt in a long time.
I just moved to a new state, to a town of about 500. I have no friends and know only my daughter and her father who both live about 40 minutes away. Its scary but somehow refreshing at the same time.
Trying to figure out this new single life and what to do with my life now. I am mostly a homebody and don't have many hobbies. Looking for some support in this new life as well as give support if I can.
Nice to meet you all

You will find the support here that you need to help make your transition easier. It is really helping me.
Looking forward to getting to know you better! Hugs!
there are a lot very good people here with different perspectives
even when perhaps i disagree with a perspective it is easy to see that it is well intended
take care
I also am new to this group. Just looking for support to pick up the pieces and move forward.
The hardest thing for me was deciding to Let Go. I really had no alternative but in my mind I just kept hoping & praying that he would leave the OW. Just didn't work out that way, 40 years down the drain. :(
But I have 2 beautiful grown daughters and much to be thankful for in life. Just I big deep hole in the spousal part of my heart.
Hopefully, together, we can all help one another. We are all in different places in our pain & we all have different perceptions & opinions.
I have received a lot of helpful information from here & a few smiles & laughs along the way. Glad to have another friend. Have a great day!!! :)
I haven't been on in a while, but wish you best of luck in this new part of your life.
May I suggest creating a new hobby for yourself? Or join a group in this new town and get involved. You don't have to be on the PTA if you already know you're an introvert, but through experience I've found it makes a person stronger and more confident to be involved to some extent. The only way you are going to make friends is to put yourself out there.
Good luck and try to have fun!
