hello all--------new to this site but I do believe I will enjoy it!love to talk with women about their victories, no matter how small,in their lives.would love to hear from others about how they managed a separation and all that comes with it.currently,I am living with my 2 adult sons.........18 and 22 and find this particularly challenging at times.hope anyone with some good down home advice will respond.the challenges are that they-sons.......seem to feel that they have alot to say when it comes to my decisions,etc............I decided to leave my 30yr marriage because it was riddled with toxic and domestic violence.it took me along time to find the courage but at this point I have been OUT for 7 months and I cant tell you the peace that I have in my life is indescribable!.so all you fabulous 40's plus drop me a line and pat yourself on the back for doing as well as you can!! vgirl
