Hello 2018 and Happy New Year!
2017 was a rocky year for my family. I realized my husband and I were growing apart and there was nothing I could do to stop it.
My husband got a new job in another state in March and moved that same month to get settled in before my son and I could move. I stayed behind so our son could finish the school year.
We moved in mid-June, just after our son graduated 5th grade. With my husband’s new job, he was barely at home. When he was at home, he chose to be consumed by work and everything else.
He was happier at work. He was happier to be away from his family. What could I do?
After 5 months, I saw how much his precious job kept him traveling and I decided it was time to leave. I honestly didn’t want to leave mid-school year. That was the toughest choice. Our son loves school and just getting acquainted with a new school and teachers in a new state.
We’ve been separated and apart for almost two months now. Our son loves school as always and seems to have adapted well!
Now that 2017 is over I am hoping for new beginnings and happier times in the New Year!
I want to wish all of our readers, fans, friends, family, and followers a very Happy New Year! Tell us what you’re looking forward to in 2018!

Hi Kristen,

Happy New Year! As they say, change is the only constant in life.
Looking forward to a new beginning or chapter in my life. More exercising and healthier changes are happening!
Definitely hoping for 2018;to be onwards and upwards
Hoping for a better 2018; Happy New Year, to you and yours 🙂
I do hope you and your son have a fresh start and that 2018 will be more stable for you. It is so so hard to go through divorce especially when an innocent child is involved.
2017 has been a hard year and very emotional. I’m praying all of this will change in 2018.
I hope you have a happy new year. I know divorce is so hard and heartbreaking.
In this new year I’m looking forward more rest, more sleep, and more ways to improve my well being.
For the new year I hope to lose more weight! =D
I hope to lose weight and take better care of my self.
Happy New Year and good luck
I hope 2018 is a better year for both of us!
I hope you have a great year in 2018. Thank you for sharing.
Happy New Year! Sounds like 2017 was tough (really was for me, too) – here’s to a fresh & amazing 2018!
