It amazes me that so many of us can actually walk in each other's shoes. I was married a week after turning 20 and stayed in a loveless emotionally draining marriage for 22 years. I grew up knowing I wanted to be one thing and that was a mother. I am so grateful I get to live that dream, but it certainly doesn't pay the bills. My divorce is FINALLY nearing resolution. I pray each day this will go smoothly. I am financially in ruins right now but look forward to a brighter future as I work out a plan to concur my debt. I recently started a relationship with an old friend via the internet. We live 2000 apart and are forced to take things slow. It has allowed me to get to know me and what I really want in a relationship. He is a wonderful guy and very understanding of my need to be here with my daughter (who will be a senior this fall). My ex has offered me a settlement, but so far I have seen no action on his part. We finally, after 9 months, have a court date of July 13. I need this phase of my life to come to a peaceful close so I can build a new life. Love and peace to you all! Tina
