KidPickles...
Are you alone....no
Will things get better.....yes
Will it take time.....yes
Are you done suffering thru the crap a woman can dump on you....maybe, but buck up if there's more coming your way, you CAN handle it. I did. My ex put me thru the worst time of my life and now I'm back. I lost everything, my kids, my dogs, my house, my car, my job, my stocks, pension and retirement, my sanity. At the end of the whole ordeal I was on prozac and drinking heavily, $40,000 in debt and owed the IRS, 35 years old and living at home with my father. Every corner I turned I thought "this is rock bottom, it gets better from here" and then the b*tch and her lawyer would do something else.
Then I met Susan
We dated, fell in love, moved away from the seacoast (in with her parents) to get a fresh start. I got off prozac and booze. I got a new job, I paid off the IRS, filed for bankruptcy and we got an apartment. Started life over again.
I'm now 40 years old.
I married Susan three years ago. We live in a house that we are going to buy next year. No kids yet, but we have three dogs, a conure, two parakeets and two hamsters (the zoo). We both have our health, good company, good jobs, nice things (that we own-no more debts) and my credit's coming back around.
Sorry for piping in with another down'n out story, but just wanted to let you know that you are not alone in this crazy world. Take care and God Bless
