My wow moment and my holy **** moment. (LONG)

All is well and I have a whole new outlook on divorce.  If your not happy and if you have tried every avenue there is to make it work - why stay and suffer?  A year ago I was so afraid of being "divorced" and having that label - now after struggling so much this past year with my marriage - anyone can label me anything they want to because I deserve to be happy and if that meant I have to get divorced to do so well so be it!

Sal,

WOW.....I can't wait to meet you......Good for you taking control of your life......I'm so happy for you.......It's too bad that things happend the way they did, but I'm sure your a stronger women for it.....

Hugs to you.....Kelly

I know I know I got to get to coffees!
I am a stronger person for it and do not regret my decision at all to marry this man.  It was meant to be, I have learned so much about what love means and how to love.  It was a good thing!

Yes, start with MG Coffee!  I am so glad you were able to recognize the problem.  Many people will live for YEARS under that sort of abuse.  Life is way too short to live it with so much disrepect. 

It took me awhile to recognize it - I think partly because at the time I did not feel very good about myself.  But after much debate in my head, a lot of praying with MY Lord I have found that no one of God's children should ever be treated with such disrespect!  So you are right life is too short and I am too good to be knocked down.  This world needs me to be at my best and I tend to give it all I have - too myself as well!  Thank you for your kind words!
Sal

I was wondering where you have been.  One thing I will say about you, Sal, is you have one of the greatest outlooks on life and such a positive attitude.  I'm sorry for the abuse you've suffered and applaud your determination to walk away.  I'm proud of you and admire your strength. 

Cheers to many many more WOW and happy moments in life.

Cheers right back at you Lauren!

I agree with Paul. It took me 20 years to figure out I was good enough and that I was strong enough to start over. So happy and Thank God each and every day for bringing me where I am today. Somedays were so hard to get thru, but as I look back, it was a part of the fabric that made me into who I am today. Learning to Love ourselves is one of lifes hardest lessons, but one that we all can use help with from time to time....
Congrats on the rest of your life..... 29 years old? Honey you are so strong and beautiful and I already admire the heck out of ya.....You havethe rest of your life ahead of you.
Hang in there and althought the road may be a little bumpy...it will smooth out in no time nad you will be fine!!!

Hugs back at you - I feel like 29 is a great age to start over because I have already learned so very much about life and love and I'm ready to give it all another shot!  Thank you for your kind words!
One of my favorite sayings is "It will be fine in the end, if it's not fine it's not the end!"
