Ready for a NEW Chapter in our lives...

I CAN & WILL...

A new chapter to the book...

(petragliff/my new chapter)

For those of you who don't know Steve and I have been separated for about a month now. Things just aren't changing and so I must now turn the page and begin a new chapter. I know that I will be a better person for making this decision not only for Myself but also as a MOTHER to 3 of the greatest gifts Steve ever gave me. I know this isn't going to be easy but I CAN & WILL get through this and will be a better person because of it. I am so very grateful for my very supporting family and friends that will help keep me going at this stage of my life. But most importantly I am forever grateful for my Heavenly Father who has continued to help and guide me in the decisions I am making. I know he lives and is my Savior, Redeemer & Comforter and he will continue to be there for me.

I love you all and hope you will continue to be my friends regardless of the current events in our life.

MUCH LOVE,
TERESA

I was browsing blogs, and I cam upon yours. You have a beautiful family! May God bless you and your girls through this tough time!

Hi Teresa,
Stay strong and keep your focus on the one that is always in control. He promised he would never leave us or forsake us. I am in my second marriage and my wife's brothers are both going through a divorce so hang in there. My blog is titled "The Simple Life" trying to remember the things in our daily lives that really are who we are. The older I get the less I seem to need so many material things and know how important God, family and peace of mind are. You can find mine at http://odielangley.blogspot.com and I invite you to drop in anytime.

I know where your head and heart are right now. I went through this 7 years ago. Allow yourself "wallow time" ~ it is okay to get angry and cry and vent ~ I would set the timer and allow myself my wallow time ~ when the timer went off I would pick myself up and move on ~ in the beginning there is quite a bit of wallow time, but it does get easier.

Daria said...

I just would like you to know that i admire you and also think you are a very brave woman...

Unknown said...

Just from read your post I could tell you broke up with your spouse which can be very damaging but that you are bless with 3 wonderful girl (they look like you)

I was happy to see that you get your strength for God

I was a little mixed up as I was reading your blog trying to understand your pain while at the same time distracted by the wild music playing

But anyway thank for sharing

I was just clicking "Next Blog" after updating mine and found your blog.
I wish you lots of luck in your "adventure" of divorce as an LDS woman.
My divorce was final June 29 - Married in the temple, 13 1/2 years down the drain, 3 beautiful children, 3,000 miles from "home" and the covenants that are mine. When we were a month away from our 10th anniversary, I found out my ex (who was the YM president at the time) was having an affair. He is in the army and met her through work. He deployed to Afghanistan 3 weeks later & was gone for 13 mo. He came home, I let him come back into my home - only finding out that he was still seeing her and just lying to me b/c he didn't have a place to stay. He left for Korea 6 mo later, gone for 18 months. His choice to go so he could "get away from me & the kids." Now he's in TN, I'm still in NC. I've gone back to school, got my BS and got a great job. And best of all, I got the kids & I'm on the Lord's side (because he told me I was too churchy.)
Anyway, you aren't alone. :)

It must be in the water... Brad and I are too. You are a strong woman and we can and will get through this and raise our daughters to be strong and independent young women.

I hope you're doing well and I love the photo you have of your kids, they are all stunning. Take care and I hope to see an updated post soon! :) x

You will get through. You are not alone. I'm pulling through myself but some days I cry into the carpet. No one is perfect, and no expects you to be! Enjoy the discovery of the NEW you! http://www.cocktailmom.com/2010/06/im-not-perfect.html
