Re: Jimmy
when i was 5 i came very close to death and the doctor told my mother at the hospital, if she has a strong heart and can make it through the night she will be ok......i had a strong heart and made it through the night. i have had to be strong my whole life and through the 50 years of marriage that were not easy.
that strong heart was a gift, my trials have made me even stronger and i believe that things will finally get better because i have passed the test.

Re: kabu
my friend that i have never met. i do little crying, and have always been a private cryer like you. divorce is much like a death in the family. yes i feel a loss, i feel pity for my husband that has spent 50 years with a woman he did not love, i loved him and always believed things would get better if i was just strong.
i have been a quiet person and kind to a fault, my family thinks i am naive, they were mistaken. they mistook my quietness to be stupidity and my kindness as a weakness, i am neither and have surprised my family and friends.

Re: I would think that a judge in his/her right mind
ciel, sounds like i am crazy, i sure wish i could have gotten more financial support from him but i did not want a big fight or to drag this out to long. i wanted out quick so i assumed all the debt, with the prayers of all i know and the strength god gives me i will be ok. i have signs all over the house that state my moto, less things more life - life can be whatever i want it to be. and my goal, which is know yourself then be true to yourself, be happy, have dreams and use my talents.

Re: JS
naut, there is a story here. i am sure i am not the only woman or man that has gone through this at my age and after 50 years of marriage. we can only write about what we know and if i could help someone else what a blessing.

Obviously your 'ace-in-the-hole' is that you have a strong mind, and a strong will. Everybody goes through ups & downs. A person's true test of character is what they do during the 'down' times. I'm sure you'll persevere, and do what is best for you . . .

Our Darling Jean, I have been praying for you and wanting to be in touch but I know what a busy and lousy time this is. Cry if you want to love, grieve in every way you need to. Right now there is grief for a divorce does bring so much loss and pain and questions. and yes if I am honest...a feeling of failure. Just give yourself a chance to gieve in your own way....Mine was to wake up at 3;00am when no one could see me and cey my heart out...and or....stand under a hot shower and blubber like a kid, again so that my grief was private...but that was my way.
we are here for you, now and always.

I would think that a judge in his/her right mind
would either give you the house, or make damn sure your ex pays to keep you in it without having to struggle for it.

For a while I thought this might be a well-told story, as did others, and I know we were all hoping it was. It's clear to me know that you are telling us about your sad reality, and I really feel for you and wish you the best...But I als have the sense that you will get through this, that your strength will prevail, and that you will be smiling again...
