I Am Getting a Divorce

I am getting a divorce... I just haven't started yet. I married him because I felt it was best for my daughter to keep her shielded from his anger and to guarantee that he never played the games of dragging her through court for every holiday and that other sort of nonsense. I was able to be with her every minute and never worried since I was always there. I keep trying to stay strong and hold it together, but I'm so worn out that I think depression has taken a hold of me. I don't enjoy anything I used to and I long for the days when I was single. I'm not even a shell of the woman I used to be.

So, I'm going to take this year to get myself sorted emotionally so I can be strong through it, get my finances in order by way of finding a job and ensuring I can be completely independent the minute I walk.

I just needed to get this out of my head because through this long ordeal of a marriage, I've lost all of my friends and I have no one to truly talk to.

Good for you. My mother stayed with my father till I was 17 just for the sake of my me and my siblings but now that she's remarried and moved on she seems so much happier than what she used to be. She found a way to be independant without him.
