((((((((Natalie)))))))) Sounds like you have a good attitude towards the situation. Even though it hurts now, it sounds like you know in the long run this is what is best for you and will make you happier. I know you were having some chest pressure last week as well. Did you find out what was causing that or was it stress? I'm sure great things are in store for you and are waiting just around the corner. Maggie

Hi Natalie, I have not posted for a very long time. I'm sure no one remember's me. I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry to hear about your marriage ending. I can't imagine the stress you are under and have been going thru these few months. You are a Beautiful Lady,I saw your picture's in your profile. You keep your head up. I will say a prayer for you. God will comfort you. I don't know how you are going to handle the support group if your "friend" keeps going to the meetings and is seeing your Husband at the same time.. Here's a big ((hug)).

Hey Natalie, Wondered where you were. You are in my prayers!! Hang in there, sometimes this is the best way to go. I divoriced my ex about 14 years ago...and that was the best decision I ever made. I should have made it years before that...and, like you said...it was a peace I had not had for years. That will be there...but, you will still feel rotten. You will make it though!! Good Luck!! Jeannie

I am so sorry I have not been around . I missed you all terribly . I wanted to share with you all as you have all been with me from the begining ... I am getting a divorce . I have moved out of my house . I knew it was coming but did not think it would be this hurtful . 2 weeks ago I asked my husband for a divorce . I told him I just could not take the anger I had in me for him and that I just was not in love with him . We had been going to counseling and I really thought we could work things out .. but in a nut shell .. I am not the same roll over and take it girl . My weight loss has freed me from letting people walk over me .. abuse me .. But here is the kicker .. I lead a support group here and my husband has made contact with one of the girls there that I thought was my friend . They are now dating .. imagine that .. she met me last Tuesday to : Break the news to me and wanted to know how I felt about it . I told her point blank that I could not be her friend if she dated him as there would be too many akward situations . She looked at me .. with tears in her eyes and said that she valued our friendship more than a relationship with my husband .. well that lasted all of a good farting spell .. before they where both on the phone talking again . This was my blessing . And my gift from God . He gave me the light to see that he was no good for me and to stop feeling sorry for him . So I am moving out of my house .. he is moving out and honestly .. my life is so sweet now .. so peacefull . I had not been eating or sleeping but I am getting back to my good self . I just miss all of you and could have really used a hug last week . Thanks for always being there for me .. I had a set back that is leading me to a GREAT BIG COMEBACK ! I love you all ... Natalie

Susan, I have had you and your daughter in my prayers. I am so glad everything turned out well. Will continue with the happy thoughts, Michele
