I'm still hanging in there. Its tough. Thanks for checking up on me though. I really appreciate it.

Yeah it is tough in the beginning, the first year is the hardest. Some more advice since the holidays are the WORST time of year for divorcees and coming up soon. Make some plans and make them early. The last thing you want to be is alone on Thanksgiving or Christmas or New Years. Don't laugh, I spent Thanksgiving at McDonalds alone one year at a rest stop when I was first divorced, and that is as fvckingdepressing as it gets, and I could of avoided that if I made some calls ahead of time but I just didnt feel like celebrating. DO yourself a big favor ~ reach out to your friends, cousins, whoever and get an invitation early on, even if you have to hint around or just plain ask for it. It's much better being in a group of people than being alone on a holiday. Trust me on this one dude.
