Sometimes I have to shut the laptop and walk away. But what I’ve learned is that I have support.Continue reading “January 31st, 2022”

It’s now been 7 months since I decided to separate from my husband. Last month would have been 11 years married. Surprisingly, that day came and passed with very little feelings at all.

I’ve been working with my therapist on it. She tells me that I need to learn to have self-compassion. She keeps tellingContinue reading “July 10th, 2021”

Today my husband stopped by to drop his keys and garage door opener off. It’s official, every drop of him has left the house. How am I handling it do you ask? I keep waiting for the second grieving wave to hit me. Like it did Memorial Day weekend when he took our daughter toContinue reading “June 20th, 2021”

My new found independence it’s both exhilarating and exhausting. Who knew that mowing the lawn could be so painful. My backyard alone is approximately .30 acres. And somehow I managed to break the riding lawnmower that we had when I asked my husband to show me how to use it. I was trucking along andContinue reading “June 9th, 2010”
