Hey everybody.
I don't know how to say thank you. You have all been such wonderful supports & inspirations to me over this past year and a half. For those of you who don't know, I separated from my husband in June 2004, had to go a year as separated (law here in Canada) and then I could file... My divorce became final on September fourth. I have finally graduated from STBX to XH. You were all there for me when I was at my lowest, when I didn't know how to go one more minute. You "held my hand" when I had no where else to turn and thought no one else could understand my pain.

I am so much stronger now, and even though I am not "healed" I am so much different than the person who came here a year ago - thank you for helping me get there, and helping me find myself again.

To anyone who is new on this board, I will do my level best not to forget to come here and try to repay the debt that I owe. I will do my best to try to share the compassion that was shown to me when I was new. I want to see each and everyone of you become a survivor and triumph over your hard times.

I am a free woman now, even though I now have the title of "divorced". I will hold it proudly and use it to remind me of a bad situation I conquered instead of a failure. Thank you all for all your love and support. Contact me anytime at sheladyblue@yahoo.ca I try to check it regularly.
:)
Hugs all round!
