So I'm divorced after 18 years of marriage, back in the US after 9 years overseas,
and working in my ex-inlaws thrift store. I'm not able to even announce it to the world at large until next week, but I'm tired of acting like it isn't true. My new life sucks, and I'm still hoping that at some point I will have control over my own life. This crappy job situation is making it too hard, though. I'm trying to be tough and practical, but I am also sad, and trying not to be hopeless.

Cut longways from wrist to elbow.

4. hey, some of us think that working in a thrift store is very nifty

Come over to the forum on antiques, collectibles and ebay, and tell us what kind of stuff is in that store.

21. I will have to do that

View profile
It isn't exactly working in a thrift store that bothers me, it's the fact that I'm making minimum wage with no health insurance. I have a 17 year old daughter who would have had her college paid for if the ex and I had stayed where we were, and now I have to worry about that, too.

Sounds like he has no marketable skills. If she lived abroad for 9 years, someone was paying the bills so you could watch Oprah.
She got fed up and threw his ass to the curb.

And we had a marriage that everyone else admired. I just did not see it coming.
Yeah, no kidding - it's rough, but tough and practical works.

Best of luck! - TC

that was me, too! 23 years and totally blindsided. It was absolutely devastating for a while. See my response to the OP downthread

I'm a woman who has spent all the time since my oldest daughter was born as a stay at home mom. I hope things will get better.

In other words, a typical lazy democrat woman. Your motto is "I'm a liberated woman. Support me."

9. Sorry to hear it.

I'm back in the US for the first time in five years, waiting until I can get a work permit in the UK. I'm living at my brother's house and working a retail job for $8/hour. It's ok. I'm sure that the emotional stuff from the relationship has to be the hardest part. I was nearly married a few years ago, and it took me about the last two years to get over being walked out on, insofar as I have. Therapy helped, medication helped, but mostly just taking a shit-load of time helped.

Stella Blue, is that you?

It is a bit odd, since we have both been on DU so long, but it's just another one of the odd things I will have to get used to.

16. I too figured out the connection between the poster in the OP and her husband

both of whom are long time DUers.

I'm thinking the country she was living in means her adjustment back to life in the US is an even bigger transition than most....

You lying sack of shit.

It sort of sounds like her, and Stella Blue of course took a different screen name a few years ago.

But at the same time, I thought she took a job with the state of Texas.

To a DUmmy, getting a job and keeping a job is two completely different things.

I think the Stella escapade was about 6 or 7 years ago. We were at our old home.

Wow. Time flies.

That job lasted less that one week due to the fluorescent lighting.

There is always a catch. In this case I'm betting little miss thrift shop isn't telling us the whole story...
I'm thinking she was never married, was in the UK illegally, and they just caught up with her and deported her.
Her daughter probably has no idea who daddy is. No one is gonna pony up.

This DUmpmonkette clyrc sounds like a corporate wife to me who was taken care of by her husband.

I can't believe she has struggled at all.

She can go to hell at eight bucks an hour from a junk store (she could get professioinal tips from DUmmy Odinnumbers).

Another great thread where a DUmmy claims to suffer. Love it!

My guess is that your old life and your future life will also suck.  And what's this crap about "control over my own life?"  You're a liberal, the gov't is suppose to control your life for you.  Didn't you get the DNC memo?
