new here...a little of my story...

Hi Everybody! I'm new to this board and in the beginning stages of getting a divorce. My X is not really and X yet, but he will be moving out April fools day. We are splitting up our things now. It's sad for me in some ways because I will miss having some things. I guess I'm sad that this phase of my life is over. My husband is not supportive to me in the ways that I need. So for that reason I am happy to let go. I'm also moving soon and breaking my lease. This is scary and happy, too. I'm moving onto a better life, and am happy to go there as it will better meet my needs. A new city for a fresh start I guess.
I feel like I have one foot in both doors. I am still living my out life, and yet have moved away form some things. I cannot imagine staying with my husband, yet the idea of seeing someone new is scary and foreign to me. I don't feel in that space yet. I feel ready to move like I will be there and yet I am not there yet...so here I sit in the in-between. I like it to some degree because I am glad to move on, and scared to about the unknown. So that is where I am hope others have been here too. I could use hugs. I also look forward to being here. This board feels like a good place for me to be right now.

Hi Anna. I'm sorry you're going through a tough time. It sounds like you're ready for changes and I hope they are good for you!
I see in your info that you're in Wilmington. Are you still there? I'm down the road in Greenville.
Sending hugs along the way!

Hi Anna
I know what you're going through. It is very scary. I am 27, was with my husband since I was 21 and we've been married 2 and a half years. Everything fell apart for the last time in January and this time, I was ready to go, to end things once and for all. He never treated me very well, he has addiction problems with alcohol and recently to drugs as well. I always stood by him and supported him and he kept pushing me away. I couldn't handle it anymore, I was sad and unhappy all the time. We owned a house together and we have 2 dogs together. We had to divide all our stuff in half too and it was really hard. I miss some of my stuff too that he got. He moved out the end of January and I moved back into our house (I was staying with my parents). It was hard being there without him sometimes. We put the house up for sale and it sold within 2 days, way quicker than I imagined it would. The buyers wanted it within 2 weeks so I hardly had any time to figure out where I was going to move to. I found a condo a week later, bought it, and was able to move in the night before I had to be out of my house. So it has been a very hectic and life altering 4 weeks. I moved last week so I'm getting settled in my new place. Thankfully I got custody of our dogs, my babies, without them I don't know what I would do. Alot of changes in a short time. Sometimes I feel like it is all a dream and I will wake up and things will be back to normal. Although now I don't want to go back to that, I am now starting a whole new life. I am also seeing someone new who treats me like I've never been treated before- like a princess!!! I know its quick, but he has helped me get through all this and I really care about him.
So welcome to the board, and lots of hugs to you. Things will get better. I have to keep telling myself the very same thing everyday.
