I tried to reply the other day but for some reason my reply was not going through.

Anyway welcome to DCS as the previous poster mentioned activity here is down a bit from what it once was however there are still plenty of people here to provide help and support it just takes a little longer to get a response but we hope to change that very soon.

Sorry you had to find us but glad that you did. I can not think of anytime that divorce is ever easy no matter the circumstances however its good that you are working to better yourself. You have most likely already experienced some of the healing process and it does take some time to heal, how long is really dependent upon the circumstances and your own mindset, so around here the real answer to the question of how long it takes to heal from divorce is it takes as long as it takes as there is no definitive time frame for healing. Some heal faster while others heal slower.

From my experience I fully understand how hard it can be to work toward furthering your education in the midst of hard financial times. I started out totally broke but found ways to finance my schooling and am getting ready to continue on in that in the midst of getting my own business off the ground.

Sorry to hear what your ex did concerning your vehicle I know it makes things rough. I had to sell mine to pay attorney's fees and have never quite had the finances to purchase another, however my folks have been great considering that they let me use their vehicle when I need to when they aren't using it of course.

As far as the rent is concerned, and I am not sure how big the nearest town is to where you are located, but I know where I live there are many churches that have programs to help with rent and utilities, not sure if that is a viable option for you or not but its always worth checking out. Also, and as much as I hate the program, have you checked into welfare? It might also be worth checking into at least until you can get on your feet financially.

Anyway feel free to post and stick around because a new website for DCS will be forthcoming. I have ran into a few snags but hope to have them worked out soon.

As for chat, well the best thing there is to periodically pop in there, if there is nobody there and you really need to talk you may feel free to post a message on the boards saying something like "hey, I am in chat and really need to talk". Hopefully someone will pop in to help.

Again welcome to DCS glad you found us.
