Hi all... I wanted to introduce myself. I'm new here and very happy to find this board. I've been all over the internet searching for a supportive "community" where I can laugh and cry about what I'm going through.

The "Readers' Digest" version of my life: my husband and I were married for 26 years. 5 kids. I thought we were happy. Turns out he, a stock broker, embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from friends, family, our CHURCH... even our KIDS!!! He went to prison for a few months and I foolishly thought maybe we could work through it when he got out. We were dating and, I thought, working our way back to each other... then he phoned me one night and told me he was divorcing me...

So here I am... 4 kids still living at home, fighting for child support and trying to pick up the pieces of my life and heart.

Thanks for listening. Looking forward to getting to know all of you...

Welcome to this board! OMG.. I just came on board just a few days ago. These women here are awesome. They have really helped me these past for days.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. Sadly... my husband also embezzled money (he's in jail). Please know you are NOT alone. I'm here if you need to talk.

((HUGS))

Welcome Kamma,

I'm sorry that you have to be here but glad that you found us. I'm fairly new to this whole terrible messy business myself and I have found tremendous support from the great folks on this board. Keep me updated and I'm here if you need a shoulder to cry on.

Peace,
