Back in the Saddle

I haven't blogged in ages. My life blew up on August 15th, 2008 when my husband said he was moving out. It was the day in between our two girls' birthdays and it was a Friday. By Sunday he told me he was going to have a relationship with the next door neighbor and by Monday they were sleeping together.

I never felt so hurt or betrayed in my life. I soon filed for divorce and am in the process of finishing it. Due to the harassment by him, I have since moved out of our house and am living with my 4 kids at a mobile home on my mom's property. I'm in a custody battle with my soon to be ex over our two girls. He would like shared parenting, largely because he doesn't want to pay child support (his actual involvement in day to day parenting was minimal). I'm working part time and will be going back to college full time come January 20th (which I'm nervous about).

It's the 10th of December 2008 and I'm just now starting to feel "normal" for whatever that means. I discovered DivorceCare through the instructor at a county required divorce class and have found a group close enough to join. I signed up for their daily emails and have found them helpful. I am looking forward to joining the group. I wish I could find one for the kids, too.
