Life After Divorce

Haven't really visited Wikivorce in the last 7 or so years. I found the help and advice other members on this site immensely supportive, and am eternally grateful for this. It's been 10 years since my marriage broke up and 7 years since my divorce was finalised. At the time my children were 10 and 16, now adults at 20 and 26 both following and thriving with their chosen passions which where wholly encouraged by me.

I wanted to let you know wherever you are in your journey to a new and maybe unexpected life, things do get better, much better.

My ex husband is no longer with the woman he cheated on me with, as she left him for someone else!! Karma or what? I now don't have to put up with them living 10 minutes from me, as he has moved over 300 miles away. That day lifted a massive weight off me, I felt I could breathe again and enjoy myself once more.

My divorce was quite acromonious, but i came out with a better life, managing to keep the former martial home and have my children living with me, but they've both flown the nest now.

My ex still tries to be friends with me, particularly after a bereavement. I don't need the drama he brings and don't respond back to him.

You may think that what you are going through is the worst thing to ever happen, it seems it at the time. My marriage and subsequent divorce are now one of the best things that have happened to me. Reaching that point of indifference and being able to get on with my new life is great.

It takes time, but you will get there and be able to walk once again in your sunshine.

Take care of yourselves and know that you are loved.
