Some people think that it’s holding on that makes one strong; sometimes it’s letting go. –Unknown
For those of us who have already been through, or those of us just beginning the process, divorce brings upon us a whole host of experiences that may challenge our sense of self and the choices we have made in our lives. In this circle, we hope to provide support to each other as we share our unique perspectives.

Is the Grass Greener on the Other Side?

Remember When…..
Do you remember when we met? I do - it was briefly in 2001, little did I know that the chance meeting would be my future.... I was living in the dorms at EMU, you had come up with my boyfriend to party at the college level. We were introduced and you weren't thought of…

He’s engaged
Why do I care? I don’t know exactly how this site works but I just want to get these thoughts out and maybe someone else has experienced this. I was married to my high school sweetheart for 19 years. He abused me for years but I stayed in some codependency state I suppose looking back…
Moving Forward, LP Edition
In my last entry, I mentioned my relationship and at that time I was working through projections. Things did get better momentarily. I have some pretty significant milestones coming up in the next 5 weeks: My birthday, turning 38 One year since I started dating One year since the Divorce was fina...
