LostIt2010 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I haven't posted here in almost a year I think. I was in a dark place, very emotional, and very defensive and scared. My husband (high school sweetheart) who I was with 14 years cheated on me with my best friend. He was also mentally and on occasion physically abusive during that time. I'm not sure if anyone will remember me, or if the same people are still online but I was curious if some of the people who talked to me were still here. I would like to make an update. It has been terribly hard, still not quite fully divorced but am in the process of it, and even though I am still struggling to get on my feet after leaving everything behind I managed to graduate college, move out of that small town to the city, and find a small job to get me by until I can find more of a permanent one. I guess I felt like updating because I am needing some new encouragment to finish through this messy divorce, lawsuit over a wrecked car, and finding stories of people who struggled with pretty much nothing and got on their feet to succeed. My story was heartbreaking and I have made it through to a new journey, I never thought I could and though it is still hard at times and I am scared, I am actually happy and I never thought I would be. I'm poor and a mess, but happy
whichwayisup Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 You've been through hell and back! What a sh.it your exH is! Shame on him to do this to you after such a long history together. I wish you the best and I know you'll find happiness and peace again. And love too! When you're least expecting it, it'll find you and put a big smile on your face.. Just don't let what your H did to you, ruin any future relationship.
Carrot2000 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Soon enough you will be rich, put together and happy. By rich, I dont mean monetary either. You will get ahead, just like you have this far. Your on your way there hone! Glad to hear from you and that things are moving along. Good luck! You're already rich, put together and happy! Just look at how much you've accomplished; you should be proud of yourself. I'm not a very religious person, but when I have situations that are beyond my ability to deal with I say "I give this problem to the Christ within and I go free". Then I let go of whatever I'm dealing with and let the Universe sort it out. When times get tough, just trust that everything will fall into place for you.
Snowflower Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I remember your story. It's good to "see" you again. I know it doesn't always seem like it, but things will get better. It will just take a little time.
KikiW Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 My husband told me that when he had decided to leave his ex, his uncle took him aside and told him that sometimes it's better to walk away and start from scratch even if it means literally having nothing. His uncle now lives in a rock star's former home and is the most well off financially out of the entire family. And is happier than a pig in sh*t. You'll be fine, darlin' - it will take a while to get your feet under you, but you're well on your way and you'll get there eventually
bloppy Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 My therapist once told me that the best revenge is success. It sounds like you are getting yours! Good luck!
kuma Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks for your update. You're amazing! I hope you'll meet someone very special.
