I've been gone for a bit, and am slowly catching up on everyone's threads. Glad to see some of the old gang is here, doing better, and moving on with their lives.
I would love it if you would reply with some of the highlights of your past year. I'll only be here for a couple months (and then headed overseas for a bit), but I hope to keep learning from you all.
This site taught me a lot about myself and how AOs and DJs were poisoning all of my relationships, including my marriage (though that's no excuse for what my ex did to me, lol), and as a result of what I learned, I have more fulfilling friendships now. Still mired in divorce debt for a few more years, but it�s only 5 figures now, not 6 (lol).

Hi Daisy, good to hear from you too. My XH's debt on me is slow moving as I lost my job a year ago, but I'm plugging along. Have finally learned not to worry so much and am trusting God to show me the next step and the next.

Well at least I'm getting a bit more hours in at work. I don't spend unless I have to.

KC, that stinks that your progress has been hindered by the job thing. Mine should have been paid off next year, but nope. Not gonna happen. I can't keep the rental house rented (just had to evict another non-paying tenant AND will have to sue the property manager) and since it's 150K upside down so I can't sell it.
So my progress has been slow too. But at least I'm not living hand-to-mouth anymore.
And when I went to buy a car, my credit was over 800. I just cried and cried in the loan office (then explained how my ex ruined my credit and I was shocked it had gone back up).
Praise God.

Daisy, good to see you girl! Life has returned to normal here, finally! My kids are doing well. I finally gave up hoping me and my ex would reconcile, and went back to a friendship with him I started dating again and met an awesome man on an online dating site, a real man of character, and we've been together for about 2 months so far. My kids like him too. It's amazing how simple and easy a relationship can be with someone who innately grasps concepts like joint agreement and undivided attention.

I'm back working 32 hours and am trying to remortgage my house to get lower interest, it'd save me about $150/month which would help tremendously.
