very heartbreaking, my dev, was over yesterday, 36 years gone, i hope you have good friends and a good church to help you . talk to several att, before settling on one, most are just after the $$$, you will soon find out who your true friends are and it may suppress you who they really are. god bless.

I got a divorce in 1990. All I can say to you this early in yours is best of luck. If my experience is of any value your life will get better. It will take some time for that tho happen however.

Sorry Drew.
On the bright side, as bad is it may appear now, it will likely get worse.
Don't mean much now, but if it's the worse thing you go through in life you got it made. Hopefully 2 adults can prevail and realize it's not about them.

the good aspect of divorce, is that it frees you up to get on with the rest of your life.
As for the pain and suffering, well that too will pass.

Thanks all.
I came home from work on Wednesday and she was standing in the drive way. Said "I am moving out."
I pleaded with her to stay, and we talked for an hour or so. Said she was going to her friends house for the night. She hasn't been back, and today said she isn't coming back. I have been with my son the last couple days.
NO BS, I was blindsided. We weren't fighting, slept in the same bed. Celebrated my 43rd birthday together on Monday night.

Yep. 14 years down the drain, 3 year old son. It hurts BUT you're better off without her. Guaranteed.
I'm better when I move.

Go seek legal council NOW TODAY, Protect yourself and your relationship with that child, ASAP. ^^^ This. And protect your assets..the faster you move while she is feeling guilty, the better off you'll be. And I promise you, she is feeling guilty. Again I say, when it is the woman's idea, 95% of the time there is someone waiting in the wings�. BTDT.

To a "serious man", divorce is very painful.
I once saw a "Pain Chart" showing the relative amount of "real pain" felt by someone facing a variety of different, unhappy "events" in their lives... and on a scale of "100", here's the percentages-of-pain as best I can remember 'em:
The death of a child: 98%
The death of a loved spouse: 95%
The death of a marriage (divorce): 91%
The loss of a valued job: 81%
So if you're feeling really "bad" over your divorce, now you can see why.
It's smart to hang around old guys 'cause they know lotsa stuff...

What kind of mother "walks" out on her child? That's unusual.
