Quote From: playchordpiano

After 26 years of marriage my husband left last March 2006 and our divorce was final Sept 11, 2006.  My daughter is married with two beautiful boys and they live in Nevada and my son is in the Army and stationed in Colorado and  just came home from Iraq.  I realize my marriage couldn't last much longer but now I am having to deal with being alone in my apartment.  I have never lived alone before and I'm 52 years old.  On one hand I feel free and creative and on the other hand I get scared.  I am getting more involved in church and in teaching my piano students and am real upbeat then.....but there is always coming home to an empty apartment.  How can I find fulfillment all alone now.

   let me start by telling you  i am married for 24yrs. and in march of this year i found out  my husband is/ or was having an afair thou he said , anyway is cheating  with a 29yr, and he is 54  she was was friend and we worked together and to top it off my 18yr. daughter is dating her brother so dad and daughter double date,  my older daughter had to move out cause of my husband but  she is on my side,  i know  it is hard but we have to stick together, my husband told me he feel out of love with me , and i don't understand how  he can after 24yr, of marriage, and i was a good wife to him  *** [but yet  he was married 2x before his family told me look at his rack record] *** he told he  just just don't want to be married anymore wants to be free and just  come  and go as he pleases,  All i can  say to you is like everyone is telling me  keep you chin up  and try to go on with you life i know it is hard but you have to fine someone you will be happy with and have  fun, *** i met this guy and i am going out i know i an not divorce yet but  if he can go out  and be happy so can i ***  he is nice guy  and we go out just to dinner and talk at least 1 a week he makes me happy i know  sometimes i feel bad i am doing this but like i said if he can have fun so can i .  i tryed to keep my marriage together for 6 months and i am  tried of crying and not eating  i lose 24 lbs, and the other thing that  got me strong is my 22 yr. daughter she told me ***  mom  you have to go on i know you are scared but i will help you anyway i can even come and help you get a job to get you on your feet and i don't want my kids when i have them , have to know there nanny by looking at pictures and they never get to see you and i see you in a box *** she made a lot of sense and i don't want to hurt her cause she is the love of my life  so i am trying to be strong for her , 

************** so  just try to keep on going and be strong and there is a God  and he works in funny way , keep you chin up ,
