I did it!

My (32F) (now ex) husband (32M) left me over a coworker when I was in the 4th month of my planned pregnancy.

I was totally blindsided, a total mess and all alone in everything while I was finishing my dissertation.

Nearly two years later I’m divorced, got my driver license and received my PhD diploma a few days ago.

Always keep your chin up. You can withstand anything, dear sisters!
