My Divorce

[prariepunk]

Yeah... it's 4 real... kinda dropped it in the "3 or less" post... It's been a decision I've fought for about 2 yrs... and couldn't live with anymore. We are still VERY good friends.... we are going to counseling to learn to communicate better for our daughters sake. We have talked about custody and bills and splitting the "shtuff" (cross between s#!t and stuff), the only thing now is court and child support, but she knows if there is ANYTHING that little girl needs, it's just a phone call away. Don't post sorry's or I feel for ya's cause it'n not a sad thing... if you really want to be there for me we'll plan a party (cause it's a day that ends in "y"). We are not sad... well, a little... but that's because we don't want to see our daughter be affected negatively by this.

WHAT I NEED NOW IS GOOD FRIENDS - COLD BEER - AND WARM HEARTS

Won't say "sorry" since you don't want to hear that - I think it's good that you're both going to counselling for your daughter's well-being. Went thtrough a divorce myself many moons ago (19 years - after 17 years of marriage) w/4 kids (2 daughters 13 & 7 and 2 sons 9 & 5 - I got custody). Had to keep any bitter feelings out of sight & sound of kids & assure them that dad & mom both still loved them & cared for them - just from 2 different homes. There were some rough times but we all survived. I've remained on speaking terms with the ex (don't exactly consider her a "friend" but have remained civil). Remember to take care of yourself while taking care of your daughter.

I only have times like the one pictured when Lyndsey (daughter) is being looked after... and if I'm that intoxicated I have many couches to crash on. Everything is civil now... I'm waiting for the fight, I can't help but feel one comming

At least it's not one of those Bitter divorces. Glad to hear you 2 are thinking of the kid first. Now you have plenty of time for wheelin'!

Your post reminds me of something...

The wife told me a while back that if George Clooney (spit!) ask her for marriage she would have to accept. But, he would pay me child support! WOOOHOOO!!! Jeep shops here I come!! Hey, George.... you on here??!

Keep your head up and take care of that little girl. :beer:

You gotta do what you gotta do man. Most people would agree that raising a child with both parents married and happy together is the best way to go, but if the two of you are decided that you're better off separate, the best thing you can do is try to be in her life how you would be if you were still married. But I'm sure you know this. Best of luck to you, and like Red said, take care of the little girl, you won't ever have it to do over again.

Sorry man I feel for ya

Seriously though... divorce is never a happy thought. I pray your daughter handles/fares it well. Divorce sucks when you're a kid... I know.

Maybe a separation while seeing the counselor may help you two work things out? Forgive my never say die optimism :lol:

Sorry dude. I'm sure nothing we can say can make it any better...but we're thinking about ya!
