Life after Divorce—it does get better!
 

I was married to a very jealous, angry, controlling alcoholic for 25 years. He controlled my money, my time, my body, my life. Finding the courage to leave him was the hardest and bravest thing I ever did. I made a list of all the things I wanted to do, and now COULD do, because there was nothing stopping me:

—bleached my hair blonde
—eat healthier, exercise, lost 20 lbs
—went to Rome all by myself
—bought a tiny cozy house just for me, and decorate it to reflect who I am
—trained to be a deckhand and sailed on a tall ship from San Diego to Victoria BC
—got a tattoo
—lived in Paris for a summer
—went back to school—and loved it!
—grow organic food in my back yard
—sew clothes I love
—relax with my family
—make new girlfriends and go shopping

Ladies— you can create a life of creativity and energy and joy!

I love this so much!!

In awe of your courage and determination on so many levels!! Thanks for the update, and cheering you on! Your life is limitless and inspiring!!

Good for you!

This is great!

Even small things such as relax with family, not rush home, hair styles as you please. Great post :)

I agree. So many small things become blessings. Clean sheets. No snoring. Clean house. Choosing my music. Cooking healthy food. Going places besides dive bars..,
