Saying hello

words by bunkie68 posted October 13, 2005 - 12:25am

I just wanted to post a little something to say hello and introduce myself. I'm Lisa, thirty-something (although closer to 40 than 30!) full-time working mom of the busiest three-year-old on two feet, separated from my husband of eleven years and headed for divorce. That's really not a bad thing - he and I are still friends, and will still be able to work together to raise our son. I think that's baffling to his parents. They can't understand why we're breaking up if we still get along so well. We'll always be friends, but we just don't need to be married to each other. I'm not sure they'll ever understand that.

I'm glad to have found this site. One of the biggest things I'm wrestling with at the moment is the concept of the divine feminine. I grew up Southern Baptist and mighty repressed, so although I'd consider myself a very self-sufficient woman, it's a challenge for me to try to wrap my brain around the thought that the Divine isn't just God the Father, but can be Goddess the Mother as well. So some of what I write here may be about that. Some of it may be about my son, some may be about current events, and some may just be random babblings. Some of it might even make sense.

And now, I think it's time to call it a night. More to come!

Your story sounds similar to mine except that it took my ex and I three years of nasty litigation to get to the "we can work together" stage, so congratulations at missing that lovely episode!
