One year ago today, I asked my husband for divorce after 24 years together (21 married). Here I am 12 months later- divorced, in my own little house with my children in a different place, about to start a new job. It’s been a hard road and a massive life change but I am HAPPY.
To all of you who cheered me on- thank you. Happiness has been a very absent part of my life for so long, but I think I am getting there now. I might have less materially, but I don’t care. I’m finding myself and my optimism again. To anyone too scared to leave- make that leap.
@scriptwren After 24 years we completely grew apart.the last four years (zero physical interaction) together trying to stick it out ended in a mutual agreement to start the divorce process & separate our household by the end of the year.Glad to hear a positive outcome,my fingers are crossed
@scriptwren Similar, but from the opposite side (I got dealt the cards). 27yrs, 5 kids - quite a shock / tough year. Weirdly, much happier now. Had never acknowledged just how unhappy I’d been for so many years. It’s a funny old life - it’s a journey. Good luck with the new job! 😃
Just realised this could read like my children are in a different place to me. They aren’t! They are with me
@scriptwren Can’t believe that was only 12 months ago..
@scriptwren So pleased you've arrived at a wonderful place through the #divorce journey, it can be a tough road. Good for you for pursuing happiness!
