Default Since I have been gone......

Okay so I know that there has probably rightfully been some speculation since I have been so obviously missing in action as of lately. Well here is what has been going on in my world. I am deciding to get a divorce. This has not been an easy decision in my life and is probably the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but please trust and respect me when I say that it is neccessary. I have kinda been busy lately with the kids and babysitting, and trying to work through some things. Just so everyone is clear on something....this is not something that is resulting from him being gone on his deployment. I was preparing to leave him before we found out he was leaving. I tried to make this marriage work for over 8 years and I am done and emotionally spent. I appreciate all of those of you that were so supportive to me and I will try to pop my head in once in awhile to see how the gang is doing. I am sorry that it has taken me so long to post. I hope everyone is doing great and that my friends on here know how much I love them.
Janae

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Do what is best for you, your children, and your husband.
When being together does not make you happy, it harms both of you and it harms the children.
I am sure you have done your best up to now, and this was no easy decision. I am sure God will give you peace with your decision.
May your new life be a spiritually fulfilling one for you.

Janae, I am so sorry to hear that. I know that has to be tough under the best of circumstances. But Doc is right. When you are in an unhappy marriage, you and the children suffer. Whatever you decide, and if you go through the divorce, I wish you the best. I hope you find peace with the whole situation.

I love you so much and I'm proud of you.

Hey Janae,
I am so sorry to hear about this. I know that it must have been a hard decision. These things are never easy. You know what is best for you and owe no one an explanation. You take your time to get over what needs to be tended to. Take some time for yourself. I hope it all works out for you. Thanks for giving us an update and I hope to be hearing from you soon!!!
I will keep you in my prayers during this hard time!!!
Dawn

I'm sorry to hear this, but you know we are all behind you. I read that a very high percent of women that have this surgery get divorced. The reason being that when they were heavy they had very low self esteem and settled for a man that was not their equal. After losing the weight they have the self esteem to realize they deserve to be happy.

You deserve to be happy.

I have one question though, while he is deployed you cannot divorce him can you? Don't you have to wait until he is state side?

Anyway, I wish you the best. This is a very hard decision to make and I am glad you found the courage to do so.
