I'm Divorced.....
Came home and my decree absolute was waiting for me with my letters.
Financial stuff is still unresolved, but legally I'm a free woman. Have been since September 14!
Dr Harley said Plan B would make a divorce hurt less. At a time when I could hardly breathe with the pain, I could only hope he was right.
Today I'm jubilant. I'm free! I'm happy for you. Happy you're jubilant. Happy you're free.
FWW/BW (me)
WH
2nd M for both
Blended Family with 7 kids between us
Too much hurt and pain on both sides that my brain hurts just thinking about it all.

Many a good man has failed because he had a wishbone where his backbone should have been.
We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

I'd had the WORST day too.
I am staying with a friend this weekend but also working. She lives nearer my office than I do. I'm selling my rings to pay for India tomorrow afternoon.
I have to clear my kitchen cupboards as my Dad is taking them down Sunday so they can fit a new boiler on Tuesday. Pack a bag for the weekend, get my jewels together and my visa stuff which they sent back and I have to reappy tomorrow.
Then after nowhere near enough sleep Ill get up at the crack of dawn and head off to do early morning calls to the emergency services on my newspatch. Hopefully there won't be too much going on but then again, we need a front page this weekend. After doing three days work in one morning (after staying late tonight) I'll meet my friend to go shopping, or rather go selling.
THEN I can celebrate. When I texted her about the divorce she replied "mucho vino tomorrow"

Anyone can be knocked down...but how you pick yourself back up is a measure of your strength and character.
You are a true success story Indie... and the "classy" one.

I like the new siggy.
A new chapter. One where SL no longer gets to play a lead role.
And its up to you who you cast as the new lead, if and when you want to.

Happy, happy, joy, joy! I'm still pure sunshine today. I had thought I was ready to really move on, now I KNOW. If the divorce hits him hard and he wants back in, it'll make no difference to me. It'll be too LITTLE too LATE. A friend of mine told me she thought my stance of not dating before divorce had been admirable. I know people had been worried about me, and wanted me to feel better faster, but they all see the wisdom of it now. Now they can see how happy I am

Congratulations Indie on your divorce. Done with that chapter, and now you are staring at the blank page before you. Today is where your book begins, the rest is still unwritten.... (come on had to know that's where I got my name...fitting for all of us MBers wouldn't you say? but particularly you, in this moment).
I admire you so much for taking the admirable high road during this last length of your marital journey. Even into a dark separation you upheld your marital vows. You should be very very proud of yourself for the strength of character you have portrayed through all of this! You really are an inspiration to many.
Softlad is a dxxm fool. Just sayin.
