Haven't "seen" you in awhile. I saw in a post that your ex did end up moving away; I'm assuming that wasn't to Colorado:) How are the 2 girls doing on their own? Is your youngest a senior this year (like mine)?

Hi, GAgirl. The ex moved to Southern California to be near her mother and sister but my son and DIL are in CO and they just both found jobs and rented a home. The girls have a duplex and are entirely on their own. I still send them a support check but they're doing great and we speak with and see one another often. My youngest is indeed a senior this year while the older girls has just been put on the fast track to store management with a major grocery chain. They know that support ends next June and have already planned for that.
It's all good! How have you been?

Sigh, going through another divorce, unfortunately. The straw was the barely legal porn (all 18 year olds) when my daughter (his stepdaughter) is almost 17 1/2. There was no way to work things out after that AND on top of the other issues we had throughout our 3-year marriage. It'll be ok though; I didn't enjoy being married to a man less mature than my 15-year old son:)
Kids are back in school, finally. Daughter decided to keep working and actually found a better paying job that she starts tomorrow.

I'm sorry it had to come to that but it sounds as if you made the right decision. Sounds as if the children are doing well and under the circumstances, that has to help.
So, how are YOU doing?

I'm actually doing ok. It's probably less stressful living without him than it was living with him:) I was a little concerned about the financial picture but actually have more spare money with him gone; it's not like he was contributing more than about $200/mo. WHEN I got him to kick in anything. He's straight commission and just always lied about his paychecks. I made friends with his sales manager after he moved out and have found out that most of his checks were 2-3 times the amount he was telling me.
I didn't sleep well the first week or so, lost the usual 15 lbs., etc. but am doing better than I thought I would. I knew this was coming at some point, unfortunately.

I can decidedly identify with that. Living without the ex in the early stages was like a breath of fresh air and my stress level lowered greatly. Sounds like you're going to be just fine!

How are you these days? Hanging in there? Things going okay? Just now catching up and reading all the posts and am saddened to hear your recent marriage didn't work out.
However it sounds like it was for the best and that you'll be much better without the stinker. Sounds trite, as I'm sure you're hurting big time, but he sure sounds like he was real scoundrel and someone who only pulled you down rather than raise you up. We all could live without people like that!
In any case, hang in there and let us know how things are. My thoughts are with you.
Melanie
