How I did it
It made me
independent 
How I did it: Well, really I didn't do it at first. My ex out of the blue called me on my vacation with my family and told me not to come back home. It's like someone pulled the rug out from under me. Possibly the worst weeks of my life followed. But then one day I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and moved into my first own apartment.

Some days just thinking about getting all of my stuff out to scrapbook and then having to clean it up again keeps me from actually doing it. I used to scrapbook with a friend and I always would get a lot done with her, but she lives too far away now. Hopefully this winter I’ll be able to get more of it done. My son’s already 13 and I’m still working on his baby pictures !!
I miss home
2 months ago
I’m hoping to move back home to Germany within the next 10 years. I know that sounds like a long time, but my son is still in school and I want to make sure he can stand on his own two feet before I leave. He’s very supportive and who knows, maybe he’ll come back , too.
I’m very lonely most times. I never found any “true” friends here and just miss the sense of community we had back home in Germany. People here are excited when they hear I’m originally from Germany and ask lots of questions and I like talking about it, but at the end of the day I’m still alone and feel misunderstood. I wish I had some german people to hang out with.
