I am amazed you were able to do this and so happy you did. Because I can hear the joy and gratitude in your heart with every blogpost you post....I know you are happy now and living the life you were meant to. Good for you!!! Soooo happy you made that difficult decision. Just think of the many, many women who are staying in an impossible situation for the remainder of their lives and live a miserable life. .-= The Retired One´s last blog ..<a href="http://myretirementchronicles.blogspot.com/2009/12/travel-observations.html" rel="nofollow">Travel Observations</a> =-.

I've felt that same empty, rotting, devoid feeling. Everything pretty on the outside because I ignored the stench of my married life but wished a semi would just cross that center line and crush me...anything to get away from the life/lie I was stuck in. I drew a line in the sand, "talked" it over with God and waited for the moment I knew would be the moment...no turning back. Praise God, I "woke" up from a "nap" one day too...and saw the path clearly and took that simple step off the precipice I'd been teetering on for so long. There have been plenty of trials and tribulations since...but everyday I rejoice because I'm alive...soooo good to feel again and soooo good to read of other's experiences. Thank you for sharing and thank you to Blog Nosh for pointing me in your direction. Oh, Girl, I’ve been there too. I’ve felt that same empty, rotting, devoid feeling.
