Midlife Divorce
Divorce can be the psychological equivalent to a car crash and even more so when it happens in middle age, often involving kids, assets, and a lot of emotional baggage. Please participate in the Divorce Discussion Forum.

My Tragedy
I was married for 19 years having lived with my spouse for 3 years beforehand. Life was fairly tough but we were happy. In my late 40's I began to have some medical issues, Diabetes, Heart Attack, Back surgery, ect. All of this compounded a natural ailment I'd had for years, ADHD. The bypass Surgery introduced a unique type of brain damage into my life, making me VERY difficult to deal with and very unhappy. Needless to say, the wife ended the marriage within a couple of years and blamed it all on me. There were no competing associations for either one of us. I suppose this is no worse than some, but I still love my ex and haven't been able to make any relationship attempts work. So I quit trying. I am now medicated for my issues and the Pump Head Syndrome is gone. So I am healthy again, but alone. I am not a whiner but cannot seem to get my ex-wife out of my mind. She has re-married to a guy who is JUST like me, same career, same educational history. Life can be very unfair.
Move on
Be glad you have your health back, and move on. You will find another womany that loves you.
My Tragedy
Absolutely! My wife left me in good health. But I can't think of anything more selfish, low and cruel than to have yours leave you in the sea to drown. Gets you wondering what she would have expected from you had the tides turned against her. Plow forward and show her what she missed! Good luck to you.
