She shrugged it off on the surface. But her grades did drop a bit. She did a few counseling sessions, but overall seems fine. She truly is a trooper when it comes to swapping back and forth between places. Never once has she complained or had a negative comment. That has definitely helped.
The Facebook divorce group (where I originallyput that post I copied here) has been one of the most amazing happy accidents in my life. My brother said go on Meet Up. Find people. The people I found was this local divorce support group. This is NOT a sit around in a circle and complain sort of group. It's more of a social group. BUT, I developed very close connections with many of the people here. I definitely "lost" a lot of friends (though mostly very casual ones) in the divorce.
Since so many people in the group went through the entire divorce process together we are all extremely close. We hike, camp, party, dine together regularly. These are very close, intimate friendships that will last a lifetime. Certainly this was the key for my positive attitude towards life.
Interesting side note... there have been several couples that have formed out of this group. Even weddings. For now I'll omit details (including pics, so don't ask, but trust me, any of you would approve
), but I have been spending a lot of time with a wonderful woman I met there. We'll see how that goes. I was trying to not get my hopes up with her for quite a while, but I'm pretty confident I've completely lost that battle at this point!
