in a while! Lurkers, please come out of hiding, too. Anything you want to share...age, location, kids (if any) and how far you are along in the divorce process.

sk1960 in jerusalem, israel
born in the US, live n Israel, mother to one son, 20 YO.
separted 3 years ago, divorced 2 years ago - never been happier. finally finding my 'self' in my life, finally living and planning, setting goals.
my son still has issues - it is not clear exactly what is 'wrong' with him, they thought it was ADHD combined with some post traum - but now his therapist thinks it could be aspergers. waiting to get him re-tested.... he is a great kid, essentially, but has issues.
was actually married twice. married the great 'love of my life' (though, i can tell you guys that honestly he was the 'lust' of my life lol) at age 21, had a child, got divorced when DS was 3. spent a few years 'trying to get married' because that was my goal in life - to be married. married a very abusive, controlling idiot and it took me 6 years to get out of that.
Hi All,
I am Belinda, age 44, and live in Colorado. My son is 17 and my daughter is 13.
I have been separated since July, 2005. My attorney gave me good news recently and said my divorce will be final September 29th. Of course, now l hear that he will have two witnesses show up in court. For what? I don't know. I can only guess that he is trying to fight paying me child support because my 17 year old has decided to live with me full time. He has been a jackass all along and continues to be one. I even hired a mediator to help us and that fell through when one day he called me and said, "Sorry, Belinda, I tried everything I can do to resolve your situation." My STBX has refused to supply a financial affidavit for many, many months and my attorney is going for my getting 100% of his retirement now. He has been a butthead throught the whole process, and has bad-mouthed me to my children the whole time. Well, it has backfired on him with his 17 year old because my son is thrilled to be away from him.
Our house is on the market (his Royal Highness still resides in there since he kicked me out of the master bedroom and changed locks on the bedroom door, as well as the house). I will be moving next week to a townhome that is near the kids' schools and can't wait to get out of this apartment.
I have been dating and am trying to get on with my life. I have to say that I'm tired from working and being a single mom and don't get a chance to post as often as I would like, but I am definitely happier since I have left him. I do try to read the posts on a regular basis however.
I told my attorney to "wrap things up" which she is doing and I hope to be a legally single woman as of September 29th. PLEASE, PLEASE wish me luck and keep me in your prayers because I am divorcing the King of Mean.
Best wishes to everyone,
Belinda
I'm Calla. Live in the Research Triangle area of NC and I'm a scientist at a very tiny company. (I can count our employees on two hands) Separated since September 2001 and divorced since December 31, 2002. I was married for 5401 days!!
I share custody of our DDs (11 and 7), but due to his clinical depression and failing 2nd marriage, he only has the girls about 35% of the time instead of his legal 50/50.
Life is great, in spite of both the girls being in counseling now!

Hi!
It's been awhile since I've been on the board. Some of you may remember my crazy situation.. long story short... Back in March, my STBX was arrested for embezzlment (nice huh LOL). He had done this in past (prior to our relationship) and never told me. I filed for divorce in March.
Because this hit me out of left field, I've been in therapy working through all of my emotions (I swear there is a lifetime movie in here LOL). STBX (he's out of jail and received 30 years probation w/civil restitution) wants to work things out however I know it will never happen.
I had a therapy appt next week and will tell my therapist, I'm ready to schedule our final hearing for the divorce. I had put it on "hold" until I was ready. The part that I'm dreading is telling STBX that I will be moving forward. I know he won't make it easy. :(
I'm 37, own the house we lived in (bought it before we were married), 4 cats and no children. I think for the 1st time I really have a clear picture of what I want and I'm no longer scared.
I'm not ready to burn my wedding dress just yet.. but I know that day will come. LOL!!!
