Here, as promised, and DIVORCED. The feeling... is not great.
Edited on Mon Apr-13-09 11:01 AM by crim son
I'm about to have a second drink but I think after that I'll quit. This isn't the end of the world.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. You people have dealt with me for three years, and have formed my base of support through my absolute worst times, and through my happiest. You have no idea how grateful I am for your kindness, patience, tolerance.

Here's to another few years. :toast: But only I'm allowed to drink, cuz you guys have lives. :loveya: :hug: THANK YOU. -Lisa

20. I was going by your Facebook test results.
Do you know what element you are? Heh. Every one of those tests I take, they basically tell me "You're a screwed up bitch who will never find friendship let alone love." Still, I keep taking the tests!

HA! :P

10. CONGRATULATIONS!
This is the first day of the rest of your life-- seriously!

I've been divorced for almost four years now, and although they've been a tough four years, I would not trade my divorce for anything.

With a little distance and time, you realize that there's a very good reason you got divorced-- and you come to appreciate being away from this person, too.

In fact, the best part of my divorce is that I haven't seen or talked to my ex-wife in 3 1/2 years. I don't miss her at all right now, and am glad to be free of her backstabbing, passive-aggressive, emotionally abusive, alcoholic ways.

So, go ahead an celebrate. You deserve it! :toast:

14. Congrats to YOU!
I look forward to losing the guilt and feeling strong, though my ex and I even said today, this is not a mistake. You haven't talked to your ex in 3 1/2 years? You don't have kids, right? I can't escape contact with my ex, but we are of one mind, so to speak. I don't know if that's better or worse. :toast:

Eventually you will wonder if you simply made the whole thing up. :7

22. My dear crim son...
I'm sure it'll get better, sweetie...

I'll raise my glass of orange juice to you this morning, as soon as I get downstairs to have it...

You are a beautiful, intelligent and wonderful young woman, and there's a terrific and tender young man out there for you someplace!

Just don't look for him, and then he'll show up...

Cheers, sweetie! Life does go on...:hug:
