- Go to Divorce and 40
Don't know about you, but I've always heard 'life begins at 40'. I'm 43, and yes, life has gotten better. I'm in my second marriage...with my best friend. That's how we stay together. Friends first, always! We stay true to ourselves, also. We accept eachother for who we truly are. That's the first rule; be true to yourself. Everything just falls into place after that. Don't get bummed out because your kids think the father is cool. There are probably many things about you that are just as cool, but you gave up on that to be who they wanted you to be. Your divorce is a liberation! Make the best of it. You may be surprised at how things turn out.

Girl, you are definitely not alone! In fact, I am waiting for mine to become final. It took me six years to start the process. As hard as it may have seemed to be, accepting it has been liberating. And according to my sons, he's still the greatest thing since sliced white bread. Don't worry so much. In your heart and in theirs, you're the greatest. Trust me...in time you'll see. Heads up!

Really unfortunate that even your kids have turned against you. There must be a silver lining somewhere!
