Hi. I don't know you or your circumstances but I have been through a painful divorce so I can definitely empathize with you. It isn't going to be easy and I know this sounds like a cliche but take one day at a time or even one moment at a time and it will start to get easier. Surround yourself with positive people who will let you cry on their shoulders - especially friends and supporters on CD - and if you are a Christian, definitely, definitely rely upon Him with prayer because He understands your pain better than anyone else and He will NEVER get tired of you talking to him.
I'm really sorry to hear that you're having to go through this at the moment JeepGirl. You've obviously thought it through long and hard though so I'm sure it's the right thing for you. Good luck in the future.
Location: Moved to town. Miss 'my' woods and critters.

Hi Jeep: your pain will be felt by many of us. Have the strength and courage to take darn good care of yourself. The whole procedure may take some time and you will need to find a path that keeps you focused. I personally believe in the power of prayer and will do my best to say a few special ones just for you. Divorce is right up there as being one of life's most stressful occurrences. I wish the very best to you.
Best of luck to you Jeep. I have never read any of your posts personally, but you are in my thoughts and prayers. Divorce is a very difficult decision for anyone. God bless!
I'm sorry that you are going through this rough time, but I am certain that it will be short lived. As long as you only divorce Mr. Jeep, and don't divorce yourself from friends and family that can be there for you with a real hug, you will be ok. Feel better, hon.
Aw, thanks everyone! I am doing a little better now. Sunday and Monday were a real drag for me. I tortured myself by listening to sad songs. Yeeps - wrong thing to do! I know. Enveloped myself in memories and just lounged around like a lazy teenager - wondered if I could "fix it" and "fix him" and all of those sort of way-out there thoughts. Well, you know - and I know I can't. So - I am going to the Attorney's office at 9:30AM tomorrow to do put this all in motion. I chickened out going a few days ago but I have cried myself out (again) and have gathered the strength to finally take the next step forward. The reality is finally setting in. It didn't seem so real before.
