You are not the only one

I was just reading this biography:
- Married 4 times
- Divorced 4 times
- 3 children, 3 different dads
52, single mom
You might want to poo poo that - BUT - she is Christie Brinkley!!
So you see, just because you are the most beautiful woman on the planet, doesn't mean you won't have man or relationship problems!!
#1 - married too young
#2 - great artist, poor communicator, never home
#3 - didn't have a job except to borrow money and not return it
#4 - had an affair with a teenager
thought you would enjoy reading that.

Well you just made my day. :)
Thanks.
Me?
Single mom
39
married thrice
divorced thrice
1 healthy 7 yo
#1 parents made us, we were young and wanted to live together
Lasted 4 months
#2 didn't know him. He was abusive and did too many drugs
lasted 11 months
#3 Shotgun wedding. He was abusive and alcoholic

Since I left #3 7 years ago, I have raised a healthy happy son, dated several very wonderful men, only one loser (for only 3 months), and I didn't marry him ...LOL. Got a Masters Degree, got a PhD, and now own my own house... I mean mortgage!! YAY!! I am also dating the coolest sweetest man in the whole wide world, at least I think so now...
Lessons learned? Don't let the turkeys (and jerks) get you down. You can do amazing things ALL BY YOURSELF!!

Awesome post- Judy!!!
It's amazing to read someone like that can find it hard.
I've often thought about that. It's no wonder that for the first time in Amercian history there are more women choosing to be single and fewer of us married.
I've been married once, divorced and have two amazing boys who I adore. I too kept my house, built a career and now I'm on my way to starting a company. I have great friends, I travel and my life belongs to me.
Great post, by the way. Perspective is a beautiful thing.
