I had a second one a short while after that in which I left my first husband and he followed after me entreating me to stay but I was adamant. It sort of reinforced the first dream, tellin me what I had to do. So I did and a year after my divorce I met Marc and there was no deny that this was the right guy judging by my reaction the first time I laid eyes on him. It was a heart pounding, ear ringing, stars shooting physical reaction. And here's another thing. There were many Marcs in my past as if I already knew his name.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-45983395099075635172022-08-23T05:39:52.749-04:002022-08-23T05:39:52.749-04:00Oops!

And when that didn't work out, we felt like such failures. Or at least in some ways, I think. We were sold a bill of goods that if WE just did everything we were supposed to do, we would be rewarded with a perfect, loving family and as we all know, that just doesn't always happen. You were brave to ask for a divorce.
