Today is my D360 1 year anniversary 

I can't believe I found all of you a year ago today.  Wow, what a difference a year has made for me.

When I landed here, I was in shock,  feeling totally betrayed and broken.

A really wise friend told me that in a year I'd feel so much different, and she was right.

I'm stronger as a person.  I've never been one to back down from anything.  For awhile there, I did. I've got myself back.

I became more independent, and had to deal with alot of things I never thought I'd have to deal with.

I amazed myself.

I've made some great friends here who have given me some great advice.  I've tried to do the same.

I'm not the same woman who found this site a year ago.  Kitty has grown.  I feel like every self doubt I encountered, I overcame. 

I've come to realize that in many divorces, people become enemies, even if they were divorcing as friends.  Tempers flair, and people become defensive.  I've done it myself.

I thought at first that this was the second worst thing that had ever happened in my life......(The first being the death of both of my parents) but realized that this was the shake up I needed to start my life over.   Whether with my husband or without, I was going to move on.

And I have.  I'm living my best life possible, and things are really  good for me.

I'm much stronger than I thought I was.

I owe a lot of that to many on this site.

I want all those new to this site to know that we do hear your pain, and we will help you get through it.  And you will.

I'm not saying goodbye.  I'm still hanging around, because I need to give something back to this site and the people here who have helped me so much.

It does get easier.
