I want to throw this out so everyone knows we are all in the same camp. Going through my divorce was the worst experience I have EVER gone through EVER in my life. EVER. There is no mistaking that. Having said that, after several years of it being final, I am the happiest I have EVER been. Point is: Time heals everything. Just hang in there!!!
Yes, time does heal all wounds but when you're recently divorced, it just seems like it is taking forever. So much pain. So much hurt. I for one will be glad when I am totally and completely happy every single day.
Thank you for that light at the end of what seems like a very long tunnel. I only filed a month ago and I can't imagine ever feeling good or even normal again.
I was completely devastated when my husband of 16 years told me he wanted that "new feeling in a relationship" with someone else. I literally wanted to die as I had to make many sacrifices in my life for our marriage as a soldier's spouse, but my two young children gave me a reason to keep going. Now 14 months after our divorce, I have purchased a house on my own and my children are very happy! My life has never been better except for the lonely nights after children are in bed.

I applaud you for trudging through the tough times to find happiness again. I am in the filing stage and it is VERY difficult. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be able to experience happiness like you describe. But I am determined to get there, and look forward to the day I can relax, enjoy and reap the reward of a new future.
