Positive stories please

[Merchant]

Does anyone have happy ending stories on ending a long marriage with young kids involved when you live in an area with no family support or close friends nearby. Thank you!

Anyone?

I don't really know anybody who's marriage has ended without some short term rancour! Perhaps you could give more details and somebody would be able to help?

Hi, I don't have any positive stories sorry. I can't imagine how difficult it would be.

Is moving nearer to family and friends not an option?

Can you work on building up a support network e.g with other single parents?

I divorced my ex husband after 13 years. I was 3000 miles for all family and I had 3 young kids. Due to the abusive nature of the exh I had no friends. His family hated me anyways so got no help there either. When I say I had no one, I literally mean no one.
I went back to work full time and just got on with things. It wasnt easy nor fun. The divorce was horrific but was over pretty quick. I had to get a restraining order and everything.
I did learn to go with the flow more, couldnt always have a "plan" as I never knew when/if I was going to be let down by babysitters etc. I thought I was screwed a few times but something always worked out. I spent quite a lot of time as a stressed out mess worrying about not being able to work, there are no benefits here so no work meant no money.
It did all work out eventually. I met my now Dh and have been married for 16 years.
It is possible but it really is not fun, its hard and can be lonely but it was 1000 times better than being married to the exh.
