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!

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..,
