Although I tried for so long to keep my family together,the marriage had been dying a long,slow, death. Everytime I didn't want to "get with the program" divorce would be a word hurled at me. My youngest daughter had some special needs, and I needed time to help her ,and fight with the school system. A divorce would just not work. So, I would try to go along with things I know would not make me happy. Oh, and lets not forget how good the marriage could be if I would just change. Even...

I should have done this a while ago, but I have never even kept a diary. I am afraid someone will find it and read it. I am 45 years old and it's about time I took a leap. I have been divorced now for about 3 yrs. I am raising 2 great teenage girls, who are in their own ways,fearless. I just want people to know you can go from being a mouse to becoming a lioness if you give yourself the chance. Well , that's all I have time for now. Much more to come later!
