Intro
I just thought I'd introduce myself. I left my husband about 1 1/2 years ago. Our spark was gone and we weren't working as a couple. Just being around each other made us both miserable. I know that divorcing was the right decision but it still hurts. I started dating way too soon after my divorce. I realized that I need to spend some time alone re-learning who I am before I can consider being in another relationship. I think I have issues moving too fast and defining myself by my relationships - both things I'm working on, among other things. While I know divorcing was the right thing to do I'm just now starting to deal with it and honestly mourn it. This board seems like a wonderful support group and I've been lurking so I wanted to do an official intro.
To complicate matters some my XH and I have a 2 year old together. He's a great dad, we co-parent well, and he sees our son regularly. We generally get along well in that department but there have been bumps in the road. He has only been active the last year or so in DS life.
PS: Yes, I did create a new screen name for this board. I've never posted much on the boards but my old SN had part of my married name in it so I wanted to purge that from my life.

I don't think so but I recognize your name. I used to post on the 0-3 month bump board when my son was a newborn but haven't really been online since then. Maybe I recognize you from lurking? I've lurked here and on the single parents board.
