Hi Burlap, welcome to CC. I am two years into the same journey you are just beginning, and I agree that it's really weird! Like entering a foreign world where you don't know anyone or anything, including the language, the customs, the expectations or the cost of things. It's been a crazy journey but not a bad one. I feel myself learning and growing and becoming a new person that I enjoy very much.
I'm so sorry for the end of your marriage. May you be blessed in your time here with us. I know it has helped me tremendously.
