I Was Married to Darth Vader

I was married to Darth Vader. I don't mean that I was actually married to the Sith who commanded Imperial Storm Troopers. I mean, I was married to someone who seemed a little troubled but good hearted in the beginning and then turned to the dark side. Of course, Anakin Skywalker turned evil because of his lust for power and ultimately killed his wife. My ex-husband fell to the darkness of depression, alcoholism, drug abuse and sexual-addition. I was witness to the whole dark journey and ignored most of it and made it out alive! But this blog is not about his journey, it is about mine. It is really about what most people, surprised to see themselves divorced go through. It is about emerging from a bad situation and making a new life. It is about "new hope." It is about my story but it is about yours too. So please share with me your story. I'm not a big fan of sad, sob stories so let's use humor to work through life's struggles. Afterall, if you don't laugh, you may cry. Obviously, my Fairy Godmother is not that reliable, so I'm going to have to find happily-ever-after myself. Please join me on my journey.
