Hey guys! It's been a couple of weeks...and a lot of things have happened. First and foremost, my H is still with OW. Two weeks ago, he professed his undying love for me, told me he was trying to find a way to end it with OW and wanted me to wait on filing the D. Well, over the last 2 weeks, he's joined a dart league with OW and now he's got her talking to our kids....doesn't sound to me like a man who's trying to break off the relationship. To save my sanity and stop putting our kids in the middle, I finally did up all the paperwork for the divorce myself. I work in a law firm and called our county to see what was needed. My H and I have always agreed on everything...child support, custody, visitation, so there was really no hassle. Also, our house closed last thursday, so we don't have any assets anymore either. SOOOO I filed in our county on Friday, and we go for our default hearing on March 8. It's been a long year folks, and all I can say is I'm ready to move on with my life. I'm at peace with my decision. God's directing my life now, and I'm ready for whatever new exciting adventure he's got planned for me.<p>Take care and I'll try to stop in now and then. I love you all and I really appreciate all the support you've all given me!!<p>PEACE

MoM,<p>Do whats best for you and the kids. At least you have made a decision where you can plan what's ahead of you now, living in limboville can be daunting.<p>You do sound strong but I'm sure this wasn't easy. Looking ahead and have something to look forward to gives us hope, you have a whole new life to look forward to, a new beginning, a new start with endless possibilities. <p>There will be peaks and valleys, the ebb and flow. Stay with us here and share your journey, I could use the company.<p>Love,
Jo

You know it's going to be hard, but probably not as hard as what you've been through. I'm proud that you stood up for yourself and your kids. I am such a weenie. I think sometimes that if I was in that situation, I would let it go on and on. But, reading this post has reassured me that maybe, no I wouldn't. Right now, there is no need for me to think that way, but if there was...<p>May God straighten out the bumpy places. And make the crooked places straight. [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img]

Dear MoM,
I am glad to hear you sounding so strong! I have also filed for divorce this week, so I know the mixed emotions you are going through. My best wishes to you for your continued healing. You are a strong, caring person and you deserve some peace in your life.

THANKS EVERYONE! I'm still doing GREAT. Counting the hours until it's over. My H and I have had some good "friend" conversations over the past few days. It's like the pressure of worrying about the marriage is just gone. God is SOOOO GOOD TO ME!! I think someday soon I'll be able to be his friend. We just sucked at being married. I pray for all of you here on a daily basis. I'll check in now and then to let you know how AWESOME I am!!<p>PEACE!<p>Kari
