Today is DDay
 

I just wanted to say today is the day my divorce is final :trampoline:

Maybe I shouldn't be so happy but I AM! I am the happiest and more importantly the healthiest I have been in 3 years! I am living proof that stress will make your MS sx worse. Once I removed myself from the stress I have only had one flare, where before it seemed like I was in a constant flare.

So, although I am now considered a divorced woman, I am a happy, healthy woman.

Today is the beginning of my new life. I never thought I would be a strong enough person to get a divorce but I did it. I did it for my health and mostly for my DS so I could be the mom that he needed me to be...not the mom who was always sick and in bed.

I hope you all have a great day! Life is too short!

Tracy, I'm glad this has been a positive move in your life.

It takes courage to do what you did but I'm glad things will continue to get better for you and your son.

Congrats!

Thanks Sassy! I know it will only get better :wink:

Excellent news - it sounds like this is a big weight lifted off your shoulders.:)

It is funny that you say that because that was exactly how I felt when I moved out. I felt so much lighter, I know that is just a saying but I truly did.

Congrats

mine was on a on Friday the 13th,

was the one of the best days of my life, I got sole permant care and custody of my two sons. May sound harsh but their mom had serious mental issues and refused to stay on meds and believe the docs, so it was good for the kids and now since deb joined our lives she is mom,

I don't think it sounds harsh, it sounds like the right thing to do. Good for you! Congrats to you too!

Happy D-Day! You Go Girl!

I am glad that you have remained positive as divorce for many can be so emotionally draining.

Isn't it amazing what we will do for our children? I have been a single mom since DDs were 1 and 2. I left a not so good situation because I refused to raise kids in that environment. Fifteen years later and I have never looked back or thought twice about my divorce. I have been able to raise DDs in a more stable home and a happy one. In fact, DDs have often told me that they like being home as opposed to visiting their dad as we talk and laugh.

Tracy,

I wish you well and and to have many good, bright days ahead of you! :)

Niko:cool:

Congratulations, Tracy! I'm happy that you're happy!! :D

I hope things continue to improve for you and that you and your son can live peacefully and happily. You're right - stress can make our MS symptoms go haywire. I'm glad you're removing yourself and your son from that situation.

Enjoy your freedom!! :hug:

Thank you! Same to you girl!!!

I have not looked back either. I am glad that your DDs are doing well and enjoy your time. It is all in how we handle it. I always tell my DS to look for the good in everything. You can't dwell on the bad because it can ruin you.

Sounds like you have the same outlook!

Thanks HKitty! It is always hard when there are children but I think he and I are better off this way.

I hope you had a good day yesterday. I was thinking of you and your 2 kitties snuggled up on a couch!

:Dancing-Chilli:

way to go!!

i bet your vday was pretty good too! :heartthrob:

:Wave-Hello:

Congrats Tracy. I too split when my boys were 3 and 1. Their father
was very abusive to me and I left before anything really bad happened.
It was the best thing for them and me:). No child needs to grow up
in that environment.

Good luck to you in the future, it seems like you are on a good path.:)

Peace,

Another T in MA

It was very quiet! But it was the most enjoyable I've had in 15years!

Hope yours was a good one! I'm sure it was with you two love birds :inlove:

T,
Congrats to you too! Before it was too late! Good luck to you and your boys as well. :)

that was true for me!
i mourned my dreams, more than my exhusband i think...

like my dreams of my imagined future children, and my imagined good happy marriage...:rolleyes:

my divorce made me stronger, more clear of my boundaries... my 'stands' in life...
it's probably why my second marriage is so wonderful :icecream:

:heartthrob:nine years married yesterday! (15 yrs a couple:p):heartthrob:

You know, I think that is so true. I totally agree with that. Not once have I cried for my ex but I have cried for the "family" feel that I have lost. I never thought of it in that way before. Thanks!

Cimmonz, congrats on your anniversary! I am very glad for you! :hug:

Good for you Tracy!

Some times leaving is the hardest but smartest solution!

I'm glad things are on an upswing for you and now with that all settled you can keep moving on up!!

:grouphug:

Thanks so much Carrie!!!! It can only get better from here :p

Congratulations! You sound so happy and that is wonderful. Enjoy the happiness in your new life!!!!

Thanks so much! I am the happiest I have ever been! Life is good :wink:

Oh yeah..Now I have the Jefferson's theme song in my head..
Moving on up
To the East side..
To that De-luxe apartment
In the sky..

I'm pretty sure I owe you for that one.. :winky:

You go girl!!!

Years ago, when I went through my divorce, it seemed like ALL my girlfriends were getting divorced...

Somehow, we ended going to the male strip club every time some one's divorce was finale.

I tried really hard to find one of those little smilie guys "stipping"...but they are all "G" rated. You'll just have to settle for a smilie of what I looked like whenever we went to watch the guys stipping...

:eek:

Yup, that's what I looked like...I always prefered my "almost naked men" in the comfort of my bedroom...as opposed to a crowded room with 200 other women!!!

I'm so sorry it didn't work out, but I am so glad you made the right move and are through with it. WooHoo!!

Good luck and good wishes to You and DS..:hug::hug:

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is make a decision to move on. Sounds like you made it and it turned out very well for you!

( P.S. ...you looked pretty happy the night we all met :p )
