Life after divorce

Divorce; A judicial decloration dissolving a marriage in whole or in part.
Well after 23 years of marriage and 4 years of dating before that to one man, it came to an end with the discovery of lies, deception and many other women. The man I was married to was not the man I thought he was. He was a master at deception, a pathological liar.

At age 14 I met a very handsome football player. We began a relationship. I lost my virginity to him at 15. He joined the Air Force, we married at age 18. We lived in Arizona for 1.5 years. We then moved to Germanyfor 3 years. In that time I gave birth to our daughter, and then became pregnant with our son. He was born in the U.S. With two children 1 year apart I then moved to Kansas to join him with a newborn and a 14 month old. After 3 years there we moved back to Germany. I found a letter and pics from another woman. We talked, I forgave and we moved on.
All the while not realizing I was being emotionally abused. He was manipulative, calculating and mean. I had no college, no career, and no outlet. He had me right where he wanted me.
Not long after I decided to leave. We signed seperation papers and I left with the children. After a few months he begged me to come back. Well I did. Things seemed great for a while. But then he started to slowly manipulate again. When I was ready to leave he would beg and say he would change. I believed him again and again for the next few years.
