] Date Posted: 13:58:02 01/22/08 Tue Hi all. I just wanted to stop in here and share my day today. It's a strange day. I'm both sad and relieved. My marriage is officially over today. After 14 years, all it took was the judge's signature on a piece of paper to put an end to us. Anyway, I guess I just needed to tell the story of my day in a place where I know many will understand and all will sympathize. Thanks for letting me share my day. *hugs to all* ~Shalah [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 20:29:03 01/24/08 Thu  ~ Dearest Shae, please forgive the delay in posting this the other day I had typed out a lovely long response to your blog, but then I accidentally closed it down instead of sending it...lol I totally frustrated myself, and have only just come back to it, to try again :) ((((((((((((((Shae)))))))))))))) I sooo understand the sad, strange, and wonderful feelings that go along with THAT day. So many different emotions swirling around, that it's hard to actually describe how one feels at that time. I remember it so well, within my own life, and I hope that your day was not too rough on you, sweetpea, and that with every day from now on, the days shine a little brighter please know that you do not walk this journey alone and that we are so glad that you felt safe enough with us, to share love you lots, my dear dear friend *warm kiwi hugs* Sash xxxx  . |

Date Posted: 19:36:18 01/28/08 Mon Thanks Sasha! Hugs are always pretty wonderful medicine. We have sort of gone from one thing to the next for months now. As I type, I'm in Albuquerque, NM again for further testing for my son. It does mean much to me to know that you are here understanding and remembering how it feels to face this strange new place in life. Love you! *huge hugs* ~Shalah |

Date Posted: 16:59:06 01/25/08 Fri Shalah, I am currently halfway through the process, although for me it will be nothing but joy to finally cast my marriage aside. I guess we all take it in different directions.All I can offer is love and a hug, and hope that a new dawn will bring happiness for you. Peace and love, Paul. |

Date Posted: 07:20:26 02/03/08 Sun Paul, first let me say that I'm sorry your marriage was unpleasant. I know first hand how difficult that can make one's life. It's always fundamentally sad to me to see a family end, but I do understand how it can be a joyous occassion as well. So, congratulations on taking the steps into the light! Thank you for your kind response. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to this. I began to respond a few days ago and one of my children had need of me ... and so it goes. I look forward to hearing your future triumphs and will be happy to share mine as well! Have a wonderful day! *hugs* ~Shalah |

If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask...we are all here for you. Much love, AnneMarie |

Date Posted: 07:23:55 02/03/08 Sun AnneMarie, what a generous and kind offering you've left me! Thank you so much. I do know that I am at the beginning of a new adventure, which has already begun really. Still, the moment someone else signs away one's family of 14 years is a bit unsettling. Rest assured, I am in good spirits and feeling nothing if not optimistic about life! I'm looking forward to so much in every day. I am sorry it took me a while to respond to your kindness. Life here is quite busy these days with one thing and another. I'll be here as often as I can and look forward to getting to know you! *hugs* ~Shalah |

Date Posted: 21:38:39 01/27/08 Sun Oh, Just get over it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL! Well, you know, they say, (whoever the hell they are?) that divorce is like a death and I believe that. You are such and awesome person who spends most of her time caring and loving anyone who comes in contact with you. Fourteen years ago when you got married you got married for life. You made a commitment to yourself and to God and now you find yourself in a surreal situation with some stranger signing away your broken dream and great commitment. You and I have spent countless hours on this subject so there is no need for me to discuss things publicly except to say that I know the inside info and the fact remains you really had no other choice if you wanted to be the best Mom you could be. That's really the bottom line her Shalah. Your children are happier and you are in a much better place in life (the closet is clean). That puts you in a situation where you can be healthier and in return be a better Mother to your boys. I know you know all this and there is no way to diminish the emotion you feel when the final bell rings. There is a sense of failure and loss but, ahead lies the bounty. There is fruit upon the tree and I for one know that you exhausted all efforts before taking the first step towards divorce. I get you so much and I know the feelings that you have right now. That only solidifies the fact that you are as special as you are. No one died! In fact it's time now for a brighter life. Love ya much Shalah Shalah Shalah, andy |

Date Posted: 07:27:21 02/03/08 Sun Andy, the light is bright on my path these days. Thank you. And you, better than anyone, know where and who I am. Thank you for introducing me to this person I'm becoming. You being in my corner, glowing soft warmth on my path when it was dark, has made all the difference. Love you! ~Shalah |
