I'm happy for you, RF.  

I'm sort of in the same situation - my husband is moving out and a year from now, when we sell the house, I'll have to support myself and find some place to live on $10 an hour, or whatever high school graduates make after raising kids for 25 years.

I'm glad to be rid of the cheating bastard, but pissed as hell that I am in this situation.  I know a year is a long time and things will probably start to look better before it is up, it's just hard to see that from here.

I am glad you will be rid of him also but hate that you are going through this.  It seems hard to believe I am going through this type of situation again but at least I did not go into the depths of despair I did in '06 & '07.  Life throws you curve balls but this time I am not letting it take me down. LOL

You have great tenacity.  Hope I can muster half of it.

You will.  WE all do what we have to do and are never asked to do more than we can. LOL

Well, you can always practice by mustering half RF's (and my) enthusiasm for cute-butt men in lycra.

Yeah, I don't think I ever lost that.  And with gas over $4.00 a gallon there has been a dramatic increase in bike riders along the roadways.  Mmmm....

Yeah, the local opportunities for sightseeing definitely pick up in summer. :)

Sorry to hear this.  It's an old and tired saying, but I'm sure that things will work out for the best.

Sorry to hear about your lousy situation. I left my first marriage 27 years ago with only an old beat up flatbed truck, my carpenter tools and a backpack. I can relate. Now at least I have a roof over my head, as long as I can make the mortgage payment, cause the bank owns more of the roof than I do. My mom found a very nice subsidized apartment a couple of blocks from me after my dad died and she was just on social security and some modest investments. I suppose places like that are pretty rare though. I've got a feeling you'll be ok. Sending supportive vibes;-)

Thanks, ID.  This makes two failures for me and I am completely done with marriage.... :)
