porter218 Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Hello there LoveShackers!! It's been a while since my last post and things have been really good for me after my rollercoaster marriage and D. My D is now final and has been for a yr now and Porter has finally delved into the dating world . It was hard to let go and like most of us I did backslide briefly. It's hard when kids are involved but I'm so happy that I finally am free. It kinda feels like being freed from a prison sentence LOL. I have finally learned how to be happy alone with my kids and we have spent the majority of the summer traveling together to heal as a family. It's amazing what vacations can do for wounds like ours. One of the things that really helped me move on is selling the house where it all started and buying a new one to get a fresh beginning. Now in search of Mr Right and it's hard having been out of the game so long. I don't exactly know how to date with kids and a career but I guess I'll figure it out. I did date one great guy this past spring but after some time decided his life plans wouldn't work for my family. Thought I would update you guys and say hello before I started posting again.

Hi Porter - this is something actually refreshing to read, I can relate to that part in bold. That's where I am now....just need a new beginning. Want to sell my house and go smaller now that it's just me. Changes, just need changes right now.
Author porter218 Posted September 25, 2010 Author Posted September 25, 2010 Hi Trippi... I definitely would say go for it. I moved May of '09 and life has been great since. This house isn't something I ever shared with my X and it was one of the best things I ever did for my family. I decided to find a neighborhood with a pool and my house is right next to it so I can feel like I am living in a resort. I'm not really sure why I punished my self for so many years by being with that jerk:confused: . I made the decision to start treating my self very well to make up for the years of misery. D isn't the end of the world...it is the beginning of a new life, which can be a great thing if you look at it that way.
worlybear Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Hi Porter I don't know you but it was good to read how upbeat you feel after your divorce. Keep posting!
