Re: cct
you are right on about having given way to his ideas and him making me think they were my ideas. that way if they went wrong, it was my fault. but i always thought that if i endured and did my best and prayed enough he would change. and i guess that is why i am not all torn up, but ready to go on with the rest of my life because i knew better all my married life. i say to people that my divorce was a life changing experience, but people don't change, a leopard remains a leopard, his spots dont change.

Re:jimmy
we do not listen to our inner voices enough. bad times bring out things like confidence and self-assurance, but with 2 sons being my cheering section, i have to set the example for them and my grandgirls.

Re:kabu
yes, it has all been done in a blink of an eye, it amazes me that 50 years is over in a blink of an eye, yet somehow it seems like it has been over for years. and in all honesty i guess it was over years and years ago. yes, i believe happy is a choice, just like you. i have a habit of not looking at the whole picture, of just looking at a piece and i focus on that piece, so i have to keep reminding myself of the many options, the bigger picture.

Of course you cannot expect to feel too much different after all those years. It is your ex that changed unfortunately for him.I expect you having given way to his ideas all your married life. Now you have your own it might be a bit bewildering but you are unchained and free do do what you really like.

Good for you. Embrace your freedom and be happy. I find happy is so often for me, a choice. I suffer sever anxiety which could ruin my life but I keep one eye on God and one eye on all that I love and have and what I have done and can still do and I choose happy ..It has only been a blink of an eye since your divorce yet you have come so far. You are my hero.
