Divorced after 15 years - second chapter starting
It's been almost a year since the papers were signed and I gotta say I'm unrecognizable to who I was. Spent 15 years in a marriage that wasn't working and didn't realize how small I'd made myself. Now I'm in my own apartment, dating again, reconnected with friends, even picking up the guitar again which I hadn't touched since before I got married. The kids are with me every other week and honestly our time together is better now because I'm not angry all the time. Miss the stability and having my family under one roof, miss not explaining to my 8 year old why daddy lives in a different house. But I'm not pretending to be someone I'm not anymore and that matters.
Really inspiring to hear man. Going through that kind of transformation after 15 years takes guts. Love that you're coming out the other side feeling like a new person.
