Life goes on......
Posted On 08/15/2011 10:53:14 by Margaretmonteleone

First off, I apologize to you all for being gone so long. Lots has happened in my personal life; enough to make me leave my home of 22 yrs and move away.  Some of you may know why but it isn't really important; I am just back, feeling somewhat better and realizing that life goes on and life is what I choose to make it. 

I am trying my best to keep a positive attitude and look ahead because life is better knowing I can take a nap when I want to; stay up as late as I choose and eat chips for dinner if I so choose.  I don't have anyone to tell me what to do or that I have forgotten to turn the coffee pot on...the list goes on.  I feel free. 

The weather has been really hot but has cooled down in the past few days.  I think I will start walking again.  It makes me feel so good and allows me to think about things I otherwise push away.  I always feel invigorated when I have finished walking.

I have filed for divorce after 21 yrs of marriage and 22 yrs of being under the rule of a very dominating man.  I have cut all communication with him and only fear how he will react when he is served his divorce papers.  I got out with very little but it is worth my freedom.  One thing I had to leave behind was my three Chows.  I miss them but there is no way I could have even one of them since I am not settled yet. 

I look forward to my new life and reconnecting with old friends.

Hello Margaret,

My thoughts & prayers are with you as having been through this when I was only 20 years old. Life does get better & in time you will wonder why you put up with it for 21 years. 

Think of yourself for now & take time to look after yourself . Go for your walks & reconnect with your friends. Just know that people are thinking of you. I wish you all the best in your new beginnings.

Kind regards,

Sparkle (Yvonne)

Margaret,
I knew things were not going well in the marriage so I'm sure this did not happen without a lot of thought.  Serenity and peace of mind are valuable too so enjoy your new found freedom and stay up all night if you want and sleep all day.. You will soon find a new normal I'm sure. In the meantime I'll pray the transition goes smoothly.

I wish you luck Margaret, and hope everything will fall into place for you. Great to see you on The Hill, and there's a lot to be said for not having to answer to anyone else. Enjoy this new-found freedom.

Margaret,my mother says just the same thing except it took my father's death to get her to do the things she has wanted to without someone, like you had, telling her how awful it is or whatever he came up with. Good for you I say.

Only you know what is best for you...and it sounds like you have no doubts that leaving and getting a divorce is the best thing for you.  It would be terribly hard to have a spouse who controlled your every move.


So, enjoy this new adventure in your life and make the most of it!  Your positive attitude will make your transition easier.  Cherish today and make the most out of this new life you are beginning.


Good luck and take care!

Keep those positive thoughts flowing. Live each day as you find it and build your future the way You want it... Cherish your freedom. I know I do mine, since I was chewed up and spit out of my very controlled marriage... Unlike yourself... our pets were also persona non grata but I was able to find a place to live that accepted animals... Bury the past as best you can, Margaret. May you be Blessed with Happiness as the future unfolds :o)
