Annie Allen’s Path to Emotional Freedom: A Divorce Coach’s Personal Journey
I still had to finish my degree, I had to figure out how to start a career in My Mid 40s, after being a stay at home mom for Almost Years, and I had to do all of this while still trying to make sure I was doing all I could do and living in the same house but different rooms, from the only man I'd ever loved. I was watching the slow, painful death of my dreams that we could overcome, and yet I was the one who filed, and I still don't think he ever saw it coming, despite the fact that I lived upstairs for over a year that I told him that the marriage was over.
