It's been forever! - 03/30/23 04:06 PM
Good Heavens! It seems like a lifetime since I dropped into this forum.
I was a regular back in the day, well 20 years ago!
I raised my husband's child from an affair. I ended up adopting her when she was 14 years old.
Honestly, she has always looked like me, so it really isn't obvious to anyone. I have 2 boys that
were born after my daughter and they all look similar, so when I talk about my pregnancies, that's
when people ask, "What about her?" "OH, that was the easiest one. I didn't actually have her."
I have close to 750 posts on here. Nearly all of them are on this board. I go back and read them and
really can see how I grew with the support of this community.
I did finally end up divorcing my WH. I have been divorced since November of 2020.
I now have a grandson that I love beyond anything I could have ever imagined.
I will start checking in more often. I will try to help anyone. I read a little and I see there are some that aren't
finding anyone to discuss the issues with. It was so helpful for me to have someone to talk to and find that
I truly wasn't crazy with how I felt.
You're going to find a way through this. I did, and if I can, Anyone can!
Don't hesitate to reach out. I'll update my profile to have my FB so you can connect offboard if need be.
Just be sure to mention MB when messaging!
