Close Breakups & Divorce

I have been separated for almost a year now, divorce is imminent but the battle has just begun. I've realigned my life in the past two years to make myself a better person and truthfully my husband no longer fit in it. He was lazy, laid off for more months in any given year than not. Some have said I simply threw him away, but in the whole body/life makeover there was simply nothing left in common with us except our son. I've found a new purpose in life and am learning how to do this alone.

Treatments

Couples Counseling Not Working

We tried this route, it seemed the more we spoke openly the less we actually had in common.

Leave Working / Worked

It worked, it actually allowed us both time to heal, although he still holds grudges

Music Working / Worked

Music is always therapy for me, whether I am listening or singing along.

Pets Working / Worked

I have a dog, I always have, he is my salvation on a lonely day.

Reading Somewhat Helpful

I always like to read, just not always what is right for me.

Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked

Family has always been very supportive.

Talking Working / Worked

I am a talker, I speak openly whether it is good or bad the verdict is still out on that one.

Time Working / Worked

Heals, but it doesn't always allow us to move forward!

Close Gastric Bypass Surgery

I had gastric bypass surgery Nov 06, I have been fortunate with no problems. I have lost 120lb and now the challenge daily is to maintain this healthy new lifestyle.
