Bring It On
Nobody ever told me that divorce is hell until I made up my mind and then I heard it twice in a week.
Well thanks for the advice but how the hell do you know?
For me divorce was a huge relief, a new beginning and the best thing in my entire life. It was an amazing opportunity for growth, hope and a second chance at life. Tough? Yes. Hell? Not compared to the previous 25 years.
Thanks Paul. So far I sense relief all round. Tough realizations, tough decisions, but nothing like the daily struggle that was before. In some ways my options have narrowed down tremendously, but there is still a great sense of freedom, because now the limits I face are not imposed; they are just what is.
All the best to all of you. These aren't easy decisions, but they're yours to make and nobody else has your experience of being you, and being in your marriage.
Hell? No, not in my experience.
