FDS Expert: This woman who married a man, became a SAHM, then got divorced amicably and received Alimony. She's moving on effectively, not dwelling on the past, and focusing on GROWTH.

I checked the rules of r/Divorce and they don't say anything about re-posting / crossposting.

There is life after divorce. One year after being told my ex filed for divorce.

📷

A year ago my ex-husband told me he filed for divorce after being together 30 yrs, married 27. I was devastated even though I saw it coming from at least a year back. I was a stay at home parent for the prior last 6 years with a daughter who had graduated college and on her own and a son with autism who had just moved into an apartment through a special needs agency. I was a hot mess for several months. Fortunately my ex and I managed to be civil, negotiate our divorce and stay in the same house until I was settled and found a job I love in education. I still have resentment,. I can say I am much happier on my own (I am fortunate to have alimony) and my job offers me insurance and summers off to take care of our son with autism who still needs us to be there in his life. I respect my ex and will always appreciate him as a father and provider. I am seeing someone who is friends with benefits. There is life after divorce. I know I am fortunate in my situation. But I know that my marriage was no longer healthy and sometimes moving on is the best thing that can happen. I found myself with a job I love, where I am supported and appreciated and know that I don't need a significant other to fell complete.
