I am FREE!

[ad8123]

Okay maybe this is not the right catagory but in the last year this place had become like a safe home I can run too so I am telling you all something great. My hubby is leaving me because of the IC (ok that part is not great) but it gave me a wake up call, I just had some nerve blocks done and I am feeling so much better so now is MY time. From the day I met him, he was my obbsession and I was completly devoted (niave and follish :bonk: I was) and I sold out all of my dreams well now I am free of him (thank God not a moment before he sucked the last breath of air from my lungs). I am going back to school to get my MA and Ph.D :) and to become a teacher then a professor. I alwasy felt like I had to get married well been there done that! and now i am going to have dreams of my own and be me again nothing will stop me not brutish uncaring soon to be x husbands and not IC! World get ready here I come!!!!!!!!!! Anyone else empowered to day? I am here to talk to anyone about getting on with life, I am so blessed to have this second chance.

YOU GO GIRL!!!!! :woohoo: [
] I'm so happy for you that you are going to school and have such a positive attitude about your life right now. I have been through a divorce before and know that even when it's the best thing to do it can still be painful. Good luck to you. :)

Great attitude, Angela! Your divorce even though it's sad ending, it is also a wonderful new beginning! You go get 'em, girl!

I'm sorry about your husband being so nasty to you in the pass but at least you have stood up for your self and getting on with your life and you are going to become an amazing loving teacher.
I'm very proud of you!
WAY TO GO!!!
keep us updated. I look forward to seeing you post Hey I'm finished school and teaching a lovely class of children.
All Teacher deserve a big hug and a word of thanks.
A teacher is a second mother to our kids and I know a year of teaching from one teacher who really cares makes a big diff. in a childs life.
Thank You.
and may God bless you

Blessings, Lori

Isn't it so liberating? :)

It's nice to find yourself again and take back your power...as my girls say, "you go girl!"

[Stella1609]

Good for you! I just found out my husband is having an affair (he says it's not because of the IC, but I know better). We are in the beginning of the divorce proceedings. I feel the same way you do. Time to move on (even though I am sad).

[Sarojini]

I am so sorry to hear of your divorces (both ad8123 and liznazz)... but I really admire your attitudes. You are both right to look at this, despite the sadness, as a beginning rather than an end. :) Now is YOU time -- do all those things you've always wanted to, but haven't been able to due to the demands of marriage. Use the time to find yourself, grow, and be everything you've always wanted to be. You will find strength you never knew existed... and, when and if the time ever comes to have another relationship, you will be in a much better position to know yourself and know what kind of partner will make you the happiest in the end. :)

GO, both of you, and LIVE :) :D

When I divorced my first husband, I knew it was the right thing for me to do, and I was glad to be free from him, but at the same time it was very traumatic. I know that both of you are going to have some tough times, along with the total relief from being out of unfortunate situations.

It's okay to feel sad about it at times --- and when those times hit, it helps to talk it out with someone.

I think you both have excellent attitudes. You will make it.

Warm encouraging hugs,
Donna

I hope I can be as strong as you I'm going threw a Divorce right now too and its the hardest thing i ever delth with but he is a very cruel man it took several beatings before i got up the nerve to leave him :( he wants me to come back but he want get help so that is my warning sign not to go back for at least now.
I do belive that this stress is hurting my I.C more then its helping I have been in a flare for a long time now. I go back to the doctor Wed. and if i'm not better either he is going to send me home with an i.v or I will have to spend a few days in the hosptial. :( Lord please give me strength.

Hello everyone. I know it has been awhile but I have been getting my life back in order. I am taking a great job at GEICO getting trained and everything. I should get benefits the day I start and all the training is paid. My husband and I accepted an offer on our home, it will close in Jan and then I will move in with my parents until i have some money in the bank (he left me with virtually nothing and still demanded that i pay half the mortgage everymonth and I am still waiting for the bill on my miracle nerve blocks). I am happy to be free from him although sad that I made the wrong choice in a husband to begin with. My family and all my doctors have been :woohoo: great. I am not having the interstim or spinal stimualtor put in because the nerve blocks worked so well that is is not nesseary any more. I am using neurontin and atarx to manage most symptoms with small doses of tramadol/ultram when needed, I have xodol on hand if I have an emergency and can not get to the md because of my job. The pain doc even said they can see me on saturday if I have an energency before my trainig is up (3+months you can not miss even one day or they can fire you UGH). I feel so blessed to have great docs and a supportive family and a chance to strat all over again and become the woman I always wanted to be before he started shattering my self image. ;) Thanks for all your support and encouragement. Anyone needs to chat with me please feel free I am happy and on my way again :)
