Joining the club!

Well, I never thought I would see myself here. Its been 3 weeks since me and my husband of 18 yrs split. We tried a reconciliation about a week ago but there is no love left. I dont have a circle of friends to turn to as I gave them up to concentrate on rebuilding my broken marriage, and have I given up my job. Basically we drifted apart. Luckily my kids are older now, age 18, 12 and almost 11. We have not spent much time together as a family other than on vacations, where we often spent rowing. I hope we can move on from this and both achieve new happier lives though I feel in a really dark place right now. I am planning a single parent trip to WDW in the near future to help us move on. If anyone can help me through this I welcome it. Please pm me. Thanks for listening.

Welcome to the club. There are plenty of us that's been through it. I've been married twice, 1st ended in divorce, my 2nd husband past away in 1999.
I've been single ever since and just loving it. I have a son who is 24 with my 1st husband.

Thanks. Hopefully one day I can move on and enjoy single life too.

There are many of us who have been where you are. Hang in there and know that life does go on and it does get back to "normal" at some point. Check out the different threads, and post as you feel like it...and

Yep. I am a certified member of this club too.

At the time, it seems nothing will be better, but it does get easier and you will find that you are much happier in the end.

I have been divorced now for 7 years and it was truly the best thing I could have done for myself.

My ex loved Disney as much as I did so that was a toughie for me. I thought I would never want to go back there again without feeling the tinges of pain and regret. I, too, lost my friends in the divorce.

After I picked myself up and dusted myself off, I made new friends who had similar interests. I now am an AP holder and go once a year with my mom and once a year with friends.

It does get easier, especially the better you feel about yourself.

Hang in there. Knowing that you are headed in the right direction, I hope, will help you move on faster. Just remember that you are doing what is right for you AND your children. If you are unhappy, they can sense it. You will be a much better role model by showing them the strong, happy woman you really are. Keep the faith ... and when times get bad, try writing in a journal. If you don't have the close friends to confide in, writing in a journal is a good substitute. This way, you can get those feelings off your chest and work them out for yourself (which is usually what talking to friends does for us - it aids self realization).

And we are all here for you whenever you need to vent
