It does get better!

I've been posting on this board for almost two years. My divorce has been final for a year and 7 months. I went from total dysfunction on a daily basis to actual calm now.

First of all my oldest son and I are getting along much, much better. He went from never wanting to come here to actually joking and laughing with me. Him and I are going to a Bob Dylan concert together on Thursday. It was all his idea (he loves Dylan). He gave me the money for the tickets (mine too) and gas money for the trip. So our relationship is much improved.

I've also been in a relationship with a man from work. We've been seeing each other almost 7 months and I'm actually feeling really settled with him. I'm still afraid to comletely let myself go with him, but I've been very low key and things are going smoothly. It's scary and exciting at the same time. I just keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, but so far he's been great. He told me last night that he thinks I am "the one". PINCH ME! LOL

Work is going well. My boss has been letting me have a set schedule so that I can have more stability at home with the kids. On my days off I am home with them and I think that it's a huge help. I had my evaluation yesterday and it was good. They were impressed that my work didn't suffer because of the mess my life has been since the divorce and my father's death last summer.

Soooooooooo I'm just posting to say that it DOES get better. Just hang in there and make sure to take time out for yourself and take care of you TOO.
