I know while I was considering divorce I posted on this board over a year ago.
Well, I'm in the process now. We've been seperated almost a year now and will be going to court and all of that good stuff (lol). I have temporary primary custody and child-support until the final court date.
I'm trying sooooo hard to be nice to my STBX. I really put out so much effort but he is such a jerk! Grrr I'm just having a hard time keeping my cool. After 10 yrs he knows every one of my buttons and continues to try to push them. I don't know if I can keep it up. I know for the sake of my children I need to be the "bigger person" but I'm still a human.

Thank you for humoring my rant

Hi katkat..... good to see ya (well, if you call needing to be here/divorce "good"--you know what I mean!).


You know, you can always come here to rant and vent..... or journal about it... even scream in the shower.

Thanks so much.
I've calmed down now. Whew. Played some loud music and screamed along to it.
Hopefully my future posts will be happier and full of good news (tho this is divorce..lol)

Hi katkat,

I just started posting on this site this week! I can't wait to be away from my husband! Maybe think back to a time when you may have felt trapped. I don't know what eles to say because I'm just getting ready to tell him I want a divorce. But I know that for now I can say that I would rather be in your shoes right now.

Hang in there!

Taylor,
You are so right! This is nothing compared to the "bad old days" and I need to remember to appreciate it. I'm so much happier now than I have been in years.
You hang in there too. Life is certainly an adventure!
