I am 43 years old and have spent the last 24 years being married and living in the upstate area of NY. I have recently moved into a new apartment even farther upstate! I have 2 grown living children and have 2 angels in heaven. My husband filed for a divorce this month. I am truly grateful to SO MANY of you who have supported me over these past months,it means alot to me,it really does! Thank you all who waited for your responses and ratings,I appreciate your patience,I made my trip to florida to see my family,came home for a few days,packed up,said a few heartfelt goodbyes,and moved into my new place. So I have been getting settled with all that,and in between,I have gotten my driving permit and applied for some student money to go to school so Im looking forward to that becoming a reality. I will NEVER again become emotionally and financially dependent on someone. I am responsibile for my own happiness and success. I hope there is still time for me to have it all.

update I have been approved for my grant for school and will begin virtual/part time campus schooling in september. I am so excited!

update My newest endeavor is the christian womens organization I have become involved in. We have now obtained a non profit liscnce and have become an outrech program for women and children. Since my most recent illness which required hospitalizations, I have found my way to christ and have accepted him as my peronal savior,hence being saved,I most recently have been baptised as a born again christian,and have found my new calling to be an extremely rewardingand fulfilling experience.
