Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Well .... Things are finally falling into place. Ahhhhhhhh the power of prayer! Things are finally becoming more civil with my soon to be x now. I finally found a full time job! Found an apartment! Got approved for my college grant! Got approved for a's summer camp! This year has been very challenging for me and I have been put to the test! But I remained strong and continued to fight and it is all paying off. Thank you for all of the encouraging emails! I love you all! I know you all have not hear much from me through our group. But I have responded and continue responding to all the individual emails I receive. When I created this group I had a lot more time on my hands. Now I am constantly asking where the time went? LOL! Thank you to those who faithfully post and support each day. You are the ones that keep the group going. Lori, what can I say? You are the greatest! Thank you for your continued dedication to keep the family I created together. I appreciate all you do for the family and for me as a friend. I love you girl! Muwahh, kisses and hugs to you all!

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Hi Di, glad to hear things are going better for you. I'm a fairly new member, you've written me back a couple of times and I appreciate that! I just went through a divorce so I understand how you are feeling. After 13 years of marriage it blew up in my face last May, I had to deal with packing up the entire house so it could be sold, had to find an apt I could afford for myself and my two girls, move myself with hardly any help, it was rough! He left me also to deal with finding homes for our 3 dogs, which was heartbreaking too! Well, I ended up finding an apt that let me have one dog, so I got to keep one. It was a rough summer last year, but also with the power of prayer and great faith in God, I made it through. Had a wonderful friend recommend a phenomenal lawyer who is also her friend, so ended up with a smooth and relatively cheap divorce and new friends! The divorce was final in February. I am American, he is Cuban with a huge Cuban family who love me very much after 14 years knowing me, so I had a lot of sympathy from all sides! Getting child support on a regular basis was a challenge, but I get it now, through income deduction. I have no college education but I've been with my company for 9 year so I have a pretty decent job and can get us by on just my pay when necessary, though as you can imagine it isn't easy! Now I'm going through the exciting journey of wls, my oldest daughter who is almost 14 calls it " eat your heart out DAD surgery " . I am doing this for ME not anyone else, but I must say, the envious looks I will get will be satisfying! I have my first consult appt with Dr. Gomez today, I'm super excited! I hope to have surgery in November, I have no PTO vacation hours right now, so I have to save some time up, but the way time flys, November isn't even far off! I've learned so much from your website and the group too, but the group is so large I have a hard time keeping up with all the posts and personalities! I have also found obesityhelp.com a great help. I can't imagine going on this journey without the internet!!!!!!!! I am sorry this ended up so long! But I wanted to write to let you know I understand what you are going through with a divorce, and if I can be of any help please write anytime. It can be a rough road but you'll make it! Have a wonderful day! Carol Miami (Cutler Ridge) 302/sights set on 150!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
