we are sharing the same shoes right now. I try to ignore it, keep working, keep looking forward, hopefully one day soon I'll look at my life and like it again.
Freedom and the pursuit of happiness are the essence of LIFE and you just took a ball and chain off your neck! You'll feel a little lightheaded now, unsure of which direction to take but remember that someone else's loved ones died for our freedom and pursuit of happiness, do not disrespect their gift to us, but enjoy every breath you take, every step you take, find peace and happiness in your healing and look forward to taking control of your life (Been there, done that, TWICE!) And remember as you dance through life, if you begin feeling comfortable with the company of another man, look for signs of repeating history! We are all creatures of habit and the hardest part is not to fall into the same situation you have just rescued yourself from. Believe us, you are going to enjoy life again and if you'll only admit it to yourself, you already have Stay strong
I'm glad you'll have someone, tho. It's hard to start over in a new place. I love TN, tho. Just hang in there, things will get better. What a relief not to have to deal with your hubby's drinking problem!
