Hi Artlady,

I too am a divorced Mom... not nearly as long as you. I was married for ten years and have now been separated/divorced for over 10 years.

I know it must seem like what you are feeling now will last forever - but I want you to believe that it will get better. I love my life now. It's been a long tough road to this point with lots of times when I didn't believe life would be able to get better. But it has. I beleive in myself and that huge change has made all the difference in the world.

I believe divorce leaves changes in us - such as in trust issues etc. but it also gives us the chance to grow. I hope that holds true for you.

Wishing you the best of everything including hope faith and love in 2008 and always!

Donna
