And So It Goes...

Wow six years since I have written and entry in this blog.    Six whole years. 

Here is what has happened in six years....

        - I have been working for the last six years for an IT service provider in Rutland, VT.
        - Taylor is now a Junior in High School and living with her mother...  the verbal abuse from her step-grandmother was just too much for her and I can't blame her for that.
        - My parents and I did not speak to each other for a year because of Taylor... I am happy to report that we have reconciled. 
        - I moved out about 2 1/2 years ago.    The verbal abuse from Doreen's mother and not being a priority in the marriage was just too much.     Doreen and I tried to make it work as a long distance marriage and at times it did but in the end it just did not. 


Today I received divorce papers from Doreen's attorney.   The interesting thing is while I am disappointed we could not make it work I am not saddened by it.    It closes seven tough years where my faith was tested,  my relationship with my daughter damaged and my hair a lot grayer.    I am not saying I am without fault it does take two to tango (bad analogy since I can't dance if my life depended on it.)    I guess I am saying I am at peace with it.    We had a post nuptual agreement and it looks like she wants to abide by it which I am wholly fine with. 

Doreen I am truly sorry we could not make it work.   But as Abba says 'Knowing me knowing you is the best I can do...'     We both made choices that hurt our marriage and  I am sorry for mine.   I just wanted a happy marriage for the two of us and I guess that was too much to ask....

I know God has great things in store for me and more victories will come my way.    It is time for me to put her and her mother under my feet and let God deal with them and that is just what I am going to do.
