I got married to my kids' father back in 1993 and we have not been "together" in the sense of husband/ wife since...well, back in 2000...I have wondered why I stayed married legally to him but I guess for financial reasons, alot of medical issues in my life, and so on..it feels good to finally get a divorce so that me and Shawn can have a life together that we both deserve..We plan on getting married asap and to those who think it's wrong to get married shortly after a divorce...not all circumstances are the same...this is a man to whom I have not had any feelings for many years and someone who has neglected his children been physically, mentally abusive to me and the boys...so...a new start..a new chapter in my life begins..I leave for court in about an hour..wish me luck..we have all the papers signed so I'm only in court to receive my maiden name back and make it official....
