Divorce is Not the End of the Road
No, I didn’t see it coming. The year was 1999, and my wife and I had been married for 8 years. We had two children, aged 3 and 9 months. I was working full-time for one of Australia’s major banks, and my wife had resigned three years prior to become a full-time mother.

Why Are Memories and Photos All My Children Have of Their Father Now?

5 Crucial Lessons to Make Your Blended Family a Success
I was 49 years old when I met my future with a new family, and wow, did it open up a whole new world to figure out. Two years after a tumultuous divorce, I began seeing a twice-divorced older man with three grown children. We were only dating for six weeks when his first grandchild was born. Having no grandchildren of my own, I was unsure what to expect and how to act. Do I show love and affection for the baby, or do I stay on the outside looking in? I had no idea what my role was and how I should feel or act.

I Have A Dream Too
I sit back and think about what provides "hope". What is it that makes someone get up and DO SOMETHING about the acts that makes us question the worlds integrity of humanity? Hmmm, I guess the best way to find an answer is to ask "myself" this same question. What would make "me" get up and do something that help restore our faith in humanity? Instantly, an answer pops into my head. Is the the right answer, I don't know, but it's my answer.

When you realize it's over
For twenty years, I waited for the day I could say "Thank God and Greyhound you're gone." No my marriage wasn't as bad as it could have been. It wasn't as good as it could have been either. The first indication that there would be problems was the age difference. My wife was older than I was by twelve years. She also had a child from her first marriage which complicated things a little.

The Deep End
My babysitter had a pool at her family’s house. It made the occasion you and Mom needed to leave me with her a treat. My memories are fond of jumping on a trampoline, whirling down curved stairs, watching The Ninja Turtle VHS tapes, and learning to swim in the shallow part of that pool.

Appropriate Reaction orrrr...
So, with my first story, I want to share with you all my aggravation with hypocrisy. As you’ll come to learn about me, I am on my second marriage, and hopeful I got it right this time… my current husband, is great, wonderful, caring, all that good stuff everybody wants in a partner… unfortunately this is about my EX-husband.
