6. Felt your pain.
Thu Jul 13, 2017, 02:41 PM
Jul 2017

After 22 yrs., I was convinced I'd die being married, but instead, my ex and I parted ways. Yes, it's like the end of the world. For me, work was therapy and now 10 years later, my kids are 17 and 19 and a new chapter is about to open as my youngest is starting her senior year. There is life after divorce.
