Divorce

I can't believe i started this 3 yrs ago, only posted 3 times. Life has changed so much in just the past year. I was married for 24 yrs and am in the midst of divorce-and not an easy one! It's always hard to realize that one partner is growing and the other isn't and when to decide that it's just not working and time to move on. It was not an easy decision, but it was the best decision. I turned 50 last year, and started seeing life in a whole new light. I realized (others already had) that my husband was very controlling and emotionally abusive (strangers wouldn't have caught on). He didn't want me to have friends, he didn't want me involved in the outside world. i had started selling cosmetics and was recruiting others, moving up in the "ranks". He always said he supported my business, but he started sabotoging it- slowly so I wouldn't realize. I didn't see all of that until I was no longer in the same house with him. Gosh, the things people pointed out to me once I moved out-they saw all of this years ago! So, I am hoping for it to be final in March- I am so tired of the things he has put me through these past 7 months. Tampering with my car, not giving me money when he was suppose to, cancelling our medical insurance, etc. Because of no money, I had to give him my car, I have never been without a car since I started driving. Little things we take for granted, it is a totally helpless feeling. I thank God for my kids love and emotional support, and my daughter and her family for letting me live with them as I go through this mess! It can only get better, 2011 has got to be much better!!
