Hey everyone. I have been offline for a while, my Wife filed for divorce on June 26th and it has been really hard to cope. Just wanted to pop in and let you know I am back online and will be surfing through the site to keep me sane!

For the record, I do not want the divorce and she has moved 900 miles up North, back home with her parents and our kids. I have actually found a GREAT forum for my situation and the format is pretty familiar!

stay strong- and enjoy the forum- it can be a great distraction.

oneillba · 14 August 2008, 03:44 AM

Wow, sorry to hear about your situation. Things will work out for the best -- it will just take some time.

meloncap78 · 14 August 2008, 04:15 AM

Terribly sorry to hear about that. I'm sure the WIS in you will definitely be a great distraction. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say We are here for ya.

redshirt1957 · 14 August 2008, 04:31 AM

Post or PM, we will laugh and cry right along with you.

sini1717 · 14 August 2008, 05:59 AM

You just do what you got to do.
And keep your chin up

bfh · 14 August 2008, 06:10 AM

That's a tough one my friend. I feel for you.

Keep strong.

mickeydainish · 14 August 2008, 06:16 AM

DSJ · 14 August 2008, 06:23 AM

I'm sorry to hear about your situation, but glad we can offer a small distraction. I hope she is not fighting your desire to remain a good father.

Dan Pierce · 14 August 2008, 06:31 AM

It's good to have you back Warren. I'm sorry to hear about what you've been going through....hang in there. As the saying goes. 'This too shall pass'.

We're all here for support!

Hang in there buddy, it WILL get better. Just make sure you've got plenty of time with the kids in writing with the courts. Some women like to use them as weapons to get what they want.

Tools · 14 August 2008, 07:42 AM

Glad to see you posting..

These things are never easy, but perhaps the Lord has a different direction for you to go with your life..

And you do get over it, and you do get your life back, and you can't hang on..that just makes it worse.... Yes, I know...

Terry Newton · 14 August 2008, 08:37 AM

I am so sorry for you Warren and hope that things may turn around for you. Maybe some time away can be good for the both of you and she may have a change of heart. I filed many years ago and Elizabeth had left the state to go back to her parents. She called me right before the finalization and we agreed to get back together again. That was 13 years ago and we've been back together ever since. I can't imagine us doing that again but we needed to get some issues settled around having children.

I don't want to get your hopes up by saying this but sometimes you do need a break from each other to make each of you realize what it was all about. If this does not happen you will at least be developing some support for yourself to carry on and grieve the loss and move on in your life.

We hope to support you in the process as well as we are your friends.

Hang in there.

Terry Newton

JimSnyder · 14 August 2008, 09:29 AM

Terry offers some sound advice. The same thing happened to me and my wife 22 years ago. In the end things came togeather and this Nov. we will have been married 24 years. I hope things work out for the best. Be strong and take care. You are amoung friends here

Mike B · 14 August 2008, 10:03 AM

No worry, we'll keep ya busy here on TRF ! I know it must suck, but many people go through the same thing. Just keep strong, keep your head high and you will get through it ! Life is full of doors that both close, and open.

warrenmich · 14 August 2008, 10:30 AM

Thanks guys! I have minimal support here in Arkansas. All of my biological family is in MI and I have been put in a situation where it is near impossible to go see my kids. Thankfully, I can't drink on my meds cause you'd have some crazy posts on your hands!

I appreciate your support!

mailman · 14 August 2008, 11:11 AM

Hang in there. We're here for you and I hope everything works out for the best

jasonbellevue · 14 August 2008, 04:45 PM

Hey Mike, i'm sorry to hear about what you're going through right now, hang in there, I hope things will eventually work out for you. Take it easy my friend.

East Bay Rider · 14 August 2008, 09:03 PM

I'm very sorry that you have been put in this situation and that your children have been put in theirs.
I sincerely hope that things can somehow work out for you and you are reunited with your kids.

ROLEX MAN · 14 August 2008, 09:52 PM

hope the best rolex forum gets you through!

warrenmich · 18 August 2008, 06:42 AM

Can I ask all of you to pray for me? Whatever God you give praise, please ask them to hear you and to fill my Wife's heart with love for me and to give me the strength to make the necessary changes to be the best person I can be.

Thank you!

From reading the last sentence it seems that your prayers are being answered.

Hang tough and have an open heart and mind. You will find the right path, trust me on this.

ratae1950 · 18 August 2008, 12:58 PM

Sorry to read about your situation. My suggestion would be to find someone in your area to talk to about it; pastor, priest, therapist, good friend etc., The internet is a great thing but for situations such as the one you are in, 'cyber communications' might compound feelings if loneliness etc., I went through a tough divorce but can report you will come through it.
Be strong!

warrenmich · 19 August 2008, 09:03 AM

I have a counselor here in Arkansas. I see her every week for three hours. It still does not seem like enough. I am on the phone with friends and family members wuite often as well. Unfortunately, those two outlets are not available 24 hours a day! TRF and my Divorce Forums are!

It takes time my friend. At first, minute by minute; hour by hour; day by day; is just fine. It will be tough, but you will prevail.
