Hi. I am really happy to have found this on-line community of women! What a wonderful, healing way to support one another. I just finalized my divorce in October, so it's all pretty new to me. My ex-husband and I have known each other since we were kids and were always close. We fell in love and were married for five years. Recently we admitted to ourselves that we wanted two totally different life styles, and could not move forward any longer. We don't have any children (that was one of the lifestyle differences--I wanted them, he didn't) so our divorce was fairly simple and quick. In the span of four months, I moved from our home which we sold, to an apt alone, got divorced and started a new job. Needless to say, I feel very dis-oriented and overwhelmed. Everyday I wake up and say "what happned to my life, where did it go and where am I?!?". But I'm an optimist, and I am hoping that I'll find some healing and happiness again in the future.
