Kelly,
Sure, this is sad news, but, it is necessary news, too. You will deal with this next transition the way you deal with all things in life- with prayer, with conviction, with inner strength many of us can only admire. I know you know that you have given this marriage your 'all'. Time to give you your 'all' now.
Good luck.
Johanna
Kelly,
I'm so sorry to hear about your divorce. But I am also glad that you have such a positive outlook on your future. You've been through alot in the 2 years I've known you. You need to do what is right for you. Divorce is hard on anyone. I've been divorced since 1979. It was also the best decision I ever made.
I know how difficult it will be for you to leave three of your furbabies. I hope that David will keep his word on visitation. But I would suggest that you talk to your lawyer about having it put in the final divorce decree. This way there will be no renegging on it.
Hang in there honey. You're a strong person. You've come a long way so far. I'm glad that you have a great friend to lean on. Remember, you've got us too! You've also got my number. Call me anytime and don't forget, we love you girl!!
(((((((hugs)))))))))

Kelly I think the important thing is that you are really looking forward to the time after. That means it is the right decision - and it will be good for your health too.
I am sure you acted very responsible with the kids and although I held my breath I was sure Micah would come with you;)
I divorced in 1982 after 7 years of marriage but for me it's the same as for Laura: my ex and I are now really good friends- after some difficult times when we divorced and shortly after.
All the best for you:)
Dear Kelly, a person can only be stretched so far, or so tightly - without feeling the tension and the pull eventually - and having it effect your health and those that care for you. The right decisions are rarely the easy ones and it sounds as if you have indeed thought long and hard over this one. You are loved, supported and always will be thought about with smiles. That's just a part of you. I look forward to seeing your smiling, beautiful face in a few months :cool:
I wish you all the very best, Kelly. I have no doubt you have made the right decision. I hope this helps the terrible health problems you have had to deal with recently.
Hugs to you Kelly, this can't be easy for you to go through after being so sick and in the hospital recently.
I'm happy that you will still get to visit the cats that David will keep and that you don't have to rehome any of them.
Friends and family will help you get through this and as you can see you have a lot of Pet Talkers here to help you through this.:)
Kelly~ (((HUGS))) to you :(. I know that this has been a long and tough decision for you. With prayer, you can face the road ahead of you with God by your side all the way...as well for David too...you will both need God to lean on during these changes happening in your lives. You can always feel free to PM if you need to...((((HUGS)))) again. Hang in there...concerning your health issues too.

You know I'm there for ya kiddo. :)
*HUGS*
I just wanted to thank you for your continued support and inspiring comments.
Thank you.
Love,
Kelly :)
Kelly, I am so sorry to hear that your marriage is going to end. I do hope he can stay civil through this all and let you have regular visitation with the other three.
I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time in your life.

(((((Kelly))))), I'm so sorry to hear your marriage didn't work, but you're right: Sometimes it's just better to take such a step instead of living in a situation that contnued to be stressful and depressing for everyone involved.
You say you're feeling free and happy now, and I think it could be very well that this might have positive effects on your health.
But it's so sad that your cats have to be seperated. At least those with the strongest bonds will stay together, but it will be hard for them, and they'll need both you and David to deal with all the changes in their lives.
I wish you all the best!
Kirsten
Kelly, a sad decision but one not lightly taken, of that I am sure. Wishing you peace and love in your new life.

Sorry about your divorce, but you know what's best. I've been divorced since 1974.
Please understand that I am not making fun of divorce. I am divorced and I come from a long line of marriages that lasted until "death do us part".
But I wanted to share this joke.
A guy I know sent me "The Shortest Fairy Tale Ever"
A man asks a woman to marry him.......
She says NO!
And he lived happily ever after.
I sent the joke back to him and said he had forgotten the ending.
The ending I added is:
"AND SO DID SHE!"
Kelly, even though I don't know you personally, only through what I have read on PT, I really admire you. Even with everything that you have and still are going through, you remain upbeat and positive. You are such a strong woman and I have no doubt that you are going to be just fine.
I also went through a friendly divorce and it does make it much easier.
I wish all the best in your new life.
