But nxt month my yr is up..I left him because of abuse..not
soo much physical but mental..anyhow i already feel as if I
have been divorced..I do live w/a SO right now..

Hello Tami...

You have found a place where lots of neat, smart, compassionate and even, funny, ladies (and one guy I think ;o) hang out...you will find encouragement here and non-judgementalism.

I am in the midst of a hard situation with divorce and custody, have five blessings and ex is trying to get sole physical and legal in a Move Away custody case. Its really, really hard, but some of the members here have been super with ideas or just being positive sometimes when I can't see my way. I am sorry you need to be in this community, but know you will find kindness and a laugh or two. *Hugs, Annah

hi tami and welcome! i am sorry that you ahd to find us under these circumstances.... but i am glad that you delurked and i hope that you will join in. THis board has been my lifesaver while i went thru the divorce - just knowing that there is a bunch of dedicated people out there listening to me, handing me tissues when i needed them, kicking me in the butt when i needed that - was a great help to me, and i hope that WE will be able to help YOU!
