Me

If you haven't figured out by the title, this blog is dedicated to my journey from marriage to separation to divorce. No, I am not going to reveal my real name but you can call me Mama Ruth. Sounds smart doesn't it? Okay, so I am not so sophisticated and wise as my name implies. I am a mama, 30 years old, live in the South, love to cook and watch reality TV, mostly the trashy stuff (say Real Housewives, anything Kardashians, American Idol, and Biggest Loser to name a few) and recently separated from my husband of almost 2 years. Yes, shotgun wedding. No, not a good idea. My son is 1.5 and the love of my life. I vow that he will be the last man I will truly love....and yes that is a vow I know I can keep :). 

So before we get into a bitch fest about what a terrible person my husband is (because, let's face it, this thing isn't called "A Woman's Side" for nothing) it will have to wait and slowly unfold. You see our tumultuous journey cannot be told in just one blog post, or even two or three. Oh no, it's a lengthy story with deeply seeded emotions. It will have to wait. I am still getting to know you all, as you are getting to know me. So, what's important for you to know is that, as of now, I am living in a condo with my son. His dad gets him every other weekend and 1 day a week. Currently, we are not on speaking terms, which means we will converse about our son, but nothing else. No papers have been filed. He is against the divorce (and changing himself, and communicating, and saying anything nice to me....ugh...I digress). I am happy in my condo, with my son, by myself, but I often wonder, am I doing the right thing?
