Bio
I was in a verbally, emotionally and financially abusive marriage for nearly 28 years. When my kids were born, my then-husband and I both agreed that I would give up my career to stay home and raise our children. Over the years, the abuse worsened. Constantly I was belittled and put down. I was told what a horrible wife and mother I was. How worthless and lazy I was. How I would wind up homeless and penniless if I divorced him. If I thought being married to him was bad, just try divorcing him and see what would happen. He would make sure I would have nothing, he would have nothing and the lawyers would get everything. (He was true to his word about me and the lawyers!) Over time, the non-stop criticism and put-downs chipped away at my self-worth. I lost my hope, self-esteem and confidence-but somehow not my sense of humor. This blog is about my journey through divorce and starting my life over as a single, middle-aged woman. And how the gift of laughter and finding the humor in the humorless got me through and continues to motivate me to move forward. It's been said that the best revenge is living a successful, good life, and just being happy. Here's to great revenge!
