Divorce
I am getting a divorce - and it sucks. I mean it was necessary but that fact doesn't make it any easier. We have 1 son and, of course, the biggest concern is how a divorce would affect him. Which is worse, the constant fighting and unhappiness or a divorce? Ultimately, I decided the divorce would be better. So, after a discovery and an ensuing fight, my husband was told to get out of the house, and the divorce was filed 2 months later. I tried to be fair and considerate, but that was not necessarily reciprocated. It definitely got nasty, usually regarding money. Mt husband still has no understanding that he got out easy - he got to walk away with only what he wanted and no responsibility of what was left. I had our son, a house falling down around me, 3 dogs, and all the bills. Then my husband has the nerve to bitch about me needing money - he tells me I am taking everything. Oh, but he had enough to buy an XBox and God only knows what else. So there was a lot of anger. Is a lot of anger over that behavior. Things have gotten better and we are working on our friendship. Our son has adjusted well to where I relocated us, and has a lot of friends. I hope we continue to improve our situation and are good parents.

Federer wins ATP awards for player of the year, sportsmanship and fan favorite Wednesday, March 26, 2008
Roger Federer was a winner in more ways than one last year.
The world's No. 1 player was honored Tuesday as the ATP Tour's player of the year for 2007. He also won the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award for the fourth consecutive year and the Fans' Favorite Award for the fifth consecutive time.
"The sportmanship award is voted by my fellow players and it is a great recognition for me," Federer said in a statement. "It is equally important to be voted by the fans as their favorite player. 2007 was a fantastic year for me."
Bob and Mike Bryan of the United States won the Doubles Team of the Year and Fans' Favorite awards, each for the third straight year. The brothers won 11 titles in 2007.
"It was a very special year," Mike Bryan said. "Being voted fan favorite is also very important to us. Wherever we go the fans support us and make us feel really great."
Novak Djokovic, who'll defend his title at the Sony Ericsson Open which starts Wednesday in South Florida, won the most improved player award for the second straight year.
Other top award winners included: Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, newcomer of the year; Igor Andreev, comeback player of the year; and Ivan Ljubicic, Arthur Ashe Humanitarian of the Year.
