I got married in 1968 and divorced in 1972. I kept my married name since I had a child from the marriage.
I had a brief, icky second marriage in 1978 and divorced in 1979 and had my name restored in the divorce decree to my first husband's name for my son's sake. My 1st husband has not been seen in 35 years but I kept his name for my son's sake even though his father abandoned him. I have wanted to change it back to my maiden name for years. Well, I did it Monday!!!!! I am so very happy to have my name back after 40 years of carrying a name that is not my family!!!! My son is 38 and gone from home trying to find himself so it does not affect him since he is a grown man. My Mom and Dad are thrilled that I am now carrying the family name again. My Dad is very ill and he is so happy about this! When I told him I was going to do this, he grinned from ear to ear and said I should have done it 40 years ago. LOL Now I am back to my real name and it really feels good!!!

Congratulations, Becky STING! lol
I was thinking about you doing this today and was going to ask how it went. I am glad to see you post about it. I'll bet it feels good, like going home. Once DD17 turns 18 I will be doing the same thing. EDIT: You even have a new avatar. Did you just change that today? I like it. |

Trish,
I was tempted to change it to Becky Sting but decided that would be a bad idea. LOL I am so glad that is done. It definitely feels comfortable and means a lot to me and my family. It's just ridiculous to keep someone's name just because you married them and made a horrible mistake. LOL I bet you can't wait to change your name now that you know I did it. I did change the avatar last night I think. I can't remember. LOL I thought it was really cool. I got some more shoes the other day and need to send you the pics so your daughters can see them. BOGO sale is coming soon. Hugs, Becky Quote:

I am so happy for you, Becky!
When I got divorced I took my name back - my oldest daughter has my name and I thought it was only fair that one daughter has mine and the other her dads... it felt so good to go back as I can see you do too!!!
