    About Me

    I am 37 & I am getting my 2nd divorce. I am also finally battling a depression I've had for most of this marriage. I have 3 great kids, 1 from this marriage, 2 from my 1st marriage. My heart breaks for them & for myself. I had a good job, a nice home, good kids & an attentive husband, BUT, was not happy. I gained weight, changed jobs & homes & the depression only got worse and I did nothing to stop it. Until I was forced too & I am getting better, good days & bad days now.....and so on.

    Interests

    Being truly happy again & enjoying everything I do. Staying positive & Dating again. These are my Interests & they are Goals

      Thank you babe so much.. I will rise above but it pains my heart that someone is so sick and projects that unto others. I will keep her in my light so that she may come out of that dark place she is. Love you, Kimmee

      Thank you, and best wishes to you too. Just had the first family wedding since we seperated ... survived the day, processing the fallout, so your note made me smile.

      My STBX told me on our 8th annvrsry that he wanted a divorce.He turned 40 a month B4&freaked.He said he didnt love me anymore.A wk.later he wanted to reconcile&then another wk.later he sabotaged it.We are now estranged.He has issues he wont address&this has forced me to get help for myself.There was so much damage done,financially, emotionally,etc.during our marriage but it still HURTS ALOT&I wish that it didnt!

      Treatments

      Forgiveness Considering
      I AM NOT READY TO FORGIVE. I DONT KNOW NOW IF I WANT TO OR WILL EVER. BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TOO FORGIVE. BUT I STILL DONT WANT TO, NOT NOW!!! I WANT HIM TO SUFFER!!
      Love Working / Worked
      From Family & also Friends can help you get through all hurts!
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I am seeing a therpist for my depression, not necessarily the divorce. The divorce is of course making my depression harder to recover from, but I am working really hard because I want to be BETTER... GET BETTER, NOT BITTER!!!
      Reading Working / Worked
      If it is a book that SPEAKS TO YOU or DRAWS YOU IN & you can relate it to your self, it is a great help. SO find a self help book that is for you. You'll go through many perhaps but it is worth it when you get one that does help.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My Family & Friends have been FABULOUS too me, I am VERY LUCKY to have them!!
      Support Groups Too Soon to Tell
      I start a Divorce Support Group on June 2nd that I found on DivorceCare.com & am hoping for the best.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Talking to Family & Friends that will listen & be loving & supportive is so important!
      Time Working / Worked
      Time heals all wounds. It's been a roller coaster ride. Good days & bad days, BUT, as TIME goes by there are more good days than bad days.
