Alone and starting over
Hi there my name is Cowgirl and I want to share my story with you, so here goes
I had been Married for 35 years and thought my Husband was my forever soul mate but how wrong a person could be and how quickly people change. My husband had a stroke 10+ years a go and it left him with kidney damage but he was doing well and working and give up smoking and i thought we were happy until this year 2024 Suddenly he started to be quite tired and to stumble a bout i thought he was having trouble because of his kidneys and even got him an appointment at the hospital but i was sadly mistaken. It turned out he had taken to the drink and I didn’t know till he was brought home from work and couldn’t stand drunk. The final crunch gave this October when i told him i couldn’t cope with his drinking as well as my 89 year old mother who was getting over a part replacement hip and she lived with us he left me took his wedding ring off and said he knew it was over and i haven’t seen him since i was devastated but it doesn’t end there he started living out of his car and then i heard he has lost his job but the worst part of it is after such a short time he is now living with a drunk and drug using woman and she has got him on smoking weed. So now i need to make a life for myself and also my mom and as i am only 57 i still have a lot of love to give and friends to make smiles softly
so that is my story Christmas use to be my favorite time of year but this one is going to be tough but I am strong and I will get through it so if anyone would like a new friend I’m here for the taking smiles oh and one more thing I just to teach line dancing and I love country music I don’t teach anymore but i still love the music and socials pity I haven’t been to any in a while smiles so like I said this is my story up to date !

Wow Cowgirl what a hard time you have come through. I can only hope you can now prioritise yourself and your Mum and find a way to enjoy life once more. I think you might find this site a good distraction and mood lifter if you engage in some of the groups and get to know people. Sending you lots of positive vibes. 😀

Like most women, you’ve shown both patience and compassion; and given your marriage more than anyone should have to endure. Cling to that kindness and compassion, which you still, obviously, possess in great abundance. In the chapter you’re now lving in, there are people out there who would love to share your interests and desires. Life is in the hunt, and not merely the finding—
How are you finding your new life. I’ve been alone a number of years now, and quite used to it. I enjoy solitude, when I get it. How are you coping?
Hi Cowgirl! I’ve just stumbled across this post – a few months late. I’m still working full-time so I don’t spend lots of time online here. However, I have a lot of empathy for your story and some parts of it really resonate. So, if you’d like to chat sometime, I’d be happy to.
