I truly feel that there's a difference between being negative and being honest about a tough situation.  By sharing the good, bad and even the ugly, people get a much more accurate picture of what life is like.  In my life right now, my divorce is a huge issue that impacts many areas of my life and that of my kids. Sharing my feeling s in an honest fashion, helps others to relate and me to feel better.   While my marriage was apparently over on October 14 of 2014, I'm very near its official end, at least in the eyes of the law.  Maybe this will finally allow me to find some closure?
