Divorced a year now

[Serena]

I just realized that. I totally forgot the anniversary a week before that. I think that's good. Time flies while you're having fun. lol

 

[C.Ann]

I'm not surprised that you have such a good attitude about it.. You've made tremendous strides in the past year..

Pat yourself on the back and keep up the good work!

 

[Serena]

Concerning that, yeah, I've learned I wasn't upset about the marriage being over so much as what I thought marriage was and what I was still hoping for. I was scared to death over what awaited me. I forgot that I was doing most of everything already.
It's been a bumpy road, and I need new shocks, but I'm still going forward.

Congrats on your divorciversary!

It will be 3 years for me in April!

I was thinking more on the lines of

Thanks all.

I will be 4 years in January....celebrating at GF with a special box of chocolates delivered. Wonder what WDW thinks of someone celebrating a divorce at Disney.

Sounds like yours was not your choice. I hope every day is a new beginning and our Higher Power gives you the happiness you deserve.

 

[Serena]

Meezer, it's a long story, but no matter how it all occurred, we are both much happier now.

 

[Keli]

I think the people offering hugs and the ones offering congratulations are both right. Hugs because divorce is hardly without pain and congratulations because you've grown much in the last year. So I offer both of them to you now:

 

[Serena]

You're right Keli and I gratefully accept both.

I offer the same to the others.

It is very strange when I tell people I am divorced and they say "Oh...I am so sorry."....I say "Boy I am on Cloud 9"...kinda throws them off!

I cannot believe how happy I am....people think I am strange...maybe I am....

I hope you get more happy every day!

Really? Wow, I can't wait for my first divorce

Chad, I bet you have given your mom a lot of gray hair haven't you?

[DisneyAddict_M]

When people tell me "I'm sorry" when I mention that I'm divorced. I just reply "I'm not." They never know how to respond to that!

 

[Serena]

Chad, my oldest is a smart alec too, you two would get along well.

Disney, I know. It's hard for people. It was hard for my ex-inlaws. I had to convince them I was ok, so they wouldn't be angry at him. How's that for being put into a spot.

 

[Deb in IA]

You've come a long way, Laurie!

 

[jrydberg]

Been 3 years for me. Best wishes!

P.S. When people say "I'm sorry" to me, I just shrug and say, "Don't be. Everything worked out just fine."

You've been so strong and a real inspiration to all women, Serena.
