    About Me

    Well after 23 years of marriage my husband decided he wasn't happy, we talked and I thought things were getting better and then he lost his temper and blew up at me. I knew I couldn't live like that, no matter how much I love someone, I will not take abuse and even though he physically never abused me, it was verbal abuse and really I would rather be hit than someone say negative things to me. He really needs help and has proven how much since we seperated. He denies he is bi-polar but I really believe he is. He went to a counselor...once...and he said he wasn't bipolar. I don't believe it can be diagnosed that fast. Bipolar is in his family. He wanted to work things out after I left, he was telling me one thing and our kids something else. So it has been a roller coaster for me, but I know I need to move on. so here I am!

    Interests

    I like being outdoors, whether it is working, playing, watching a sports game...I just like the outdoors. I have started working out, gotta get myself back in shape, to feel better about myself and for my health! I'm not getting any younger :)

      From KLynn55 July 9

      The divorce was final on 6/17. I'm buying a new home, gong into my final year of school & starting a whole new life. I can only wish things would slow down. You sound good! Hope all is great for you! Hugs.

      From KLynn55 April 27

      I haven't been on-line for awhile. School,divorce,life just makes me crazy. Well, so that first dabble into dating sounds like it was ok. Honestly, I'm not sure if I could it right now. This guy in my watercolor class is trying to get my attention. I'll talk with him, but I won't encourge him. I'm just not ready to include another guy into my life yet. I need to get my stuff together. Let me know how it's going! Hugs!

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      The man I loved and thought I would be with the rest of my life turned out sucky!!! I promise I don't have a bad attitude but it felt good to say that!! I have been through the worse 2 years of my life, my very best friend from High School passed away and then my Daddy passed away. Now a divorce. As much as I loved my best friend and my Daddy and miss them, I believe this is worse - I still see him and will because of our kids, so its like it really isn't ending.
