Default Hi all, left the husband and moved north
I left my stbx on Friday. I filed for divorce on Thursday.

My best firend flew to Florida and drove me, my car and my cat up north to PA. I'm living with my dad for a while until I get back on my feet.

My sons stayed in Florida, they're in their twenty's but always lived with us. I miss them desperately. I don't miss my husband of 25 years at all. It was a very toxic marriage for me. I'm hoping that my MS symptoms will improve after I'm away from him for a while. It was an unbelievably stressful relationship.

I know things aren't going to be easy but it has to be better than what I had to deal with for all of those years. I'm going to be back in my childhood bedroom again! It feels really strange, lol.

Well, I'm breathing a big sigh of relief. You did the right thing. I'm proud of you.

You are so BRAVE!!!! Glad you got your parent's support. I hope the holidays find you in good spirits and good health for a MS'er. Know that you made the best decision possible for yourself.

Happy Holidays!

Good for you! No one should have to live in a less than respectful relationship.

I'm glad you are finding a peaceful place in life for yourself. It's always sad when a marriage ends, but when the 2nd party won't seek help when they know there's a problem... well you just have to do what you have to.

Glad you made it to your dad's. Maybe next summer when I am home, I can drive over and meet up with you and Holly.

What a hard step to take, but you did it! I remember when my first husband and I divorced, I wept with relief and sadness in equal amounts. It was like a death--the death of a relationship that "could have been".

I agree, that took a lot of courage! The future is bright!

Well hot dang! Give me a call sometime if you still have my number. We will have to get together after the holidays for some coffee!
