Sandra Bullock Files for Divorce in Texas and Reveals Her Adopted Baby Boy

America's Sweetheart is one classy woman. Sandra Bullock has filed for a divorce in Texas. She will not stay with the man she trusted, loved and married. No, she is kicking her cheating husband to the curb and moving on. In addition, Nancy Grace announced on her show last night that Sandra Bullock is on the cover of People magazine holding a beautiful baby boy; Sandra's adopted son.

What an amazing and wonderful chapter to a heart-breaking story. As we all know, Sandra was slammed with the news of her soon to be ex-husband, Jesse James, infidelity shortly after winning her awards. He [Jesse] stole her joy, so we thought. Bullock seemed to have fell off the face of the earth after packing a few things and leaving the home the two shared. And unlike, Elin, Tiger Woods wife we didn't see Sandra pumping gas without a wedding ring on or out in public. Sandra Bullock proved that one can remain off the radar and out of the media. She stayed out of sight, yet America's Sweetheart was never out of mind.

Obviously, Sandra's world didn't revolve around the Vanilla Gorilla, and that is not to say Sandra didn't love and care for Jesse James or that his disgusting behavior didn't cause her deep emotional pain and embarrassment. Bullock, it's safe to assume, did not let Jesse's bed-hopping or the media frenzy that followed rip her heart out or consume her or bring her down. Her strength and character speak volumes.

The public did not know that Sandra Bullock had adopted a baby boy and has been caring for him since January, but Sandra knew it and remained focused. As a mother, Bullock undoubtedly focused on what was most important, her child, rather than her own pain or the man who betrayed her. She has set a positive example for all women who are abused by men they trust and love. Yes, infidelity is a form of emotional and mental abuse.

The message Sandra Bullock has sent is simple yet powerful; love yourself and your children first and foremost. Don't waste your time and energy trying to understand or fix an abuser, don't blame yourself for their behavior, focus on what is best for you and your children, except the harsh reality and move on in life.

According to reports, Sandra was going to reveal her adopted son to the world after the awards. But thanks to her unfaithful hubby she had to change her plans suddenly, and she made the courageous decision to keep her newborn son a secret a little longer to protect him from the media circus. What a woman!

Many a women are abused by the men they believe loves them, and for some victim's of abuse leaving is easier said than done. Yes, Sandra Bullock had the financial means to walk away and that made it a little easier for her to leave. However, her decision to end the marriage took great inner strength and courage. In any abusive relationship the beginning of ending the abuse starts within. Having the means to leave is extremely important, but the victim must first understand and accept that they deserve to be treated with love and respect. This first step can and will empower victim's of abuse, and it is this inner strength that will enable them to make healthy choices.

One last point, like any woman with a newborn child Sandra Bullock probably had hopes and dreams of raising her baby boy with her husband as a family. So, she was not just slammed with her marriage being a charade but the family she had envisioned was also destroyed by Jesse James. Yet, Sandra has exhibited exceptional self-control and maturity.

Sandra Bullock filed for divorce in Texas, and she has shared her new baby boy with the world in a very graceful and respectful manner. Sandra Bullock is truly America's Sweetheart and an inspiration to other women who are faced with unbearable situations and life-changing decisions.

Jesse James eat your heart out! You had a wonderful human being to share all the joys of life with and you threw it all away. Why? Not because you are a sex addict, but because you are an uncaring, dishonest, selfish person.
