It's almost over......

Tomorrow AH and I will be attending a mandatory court ordered Parenting Class/Seminar. This is mandatory in my state for divorcing couples with children.

We have already had our court hearing for our dissolution.

So after our class/seminar tomorrow, the paperwork will filed in the courthouse that we attended and then our marriage will officially and legally be over.

I know that I've not really been updating much on here about my life lately. AH and I had a big blow up in October that was another reminder to me of why this is truly the best thing to do. His actions speak so much louder than his words - though the verbal abuse that has been escalating for months speaks mighty loud as well!
Since our blow up - where I lost my patience and told him honestly how I felt about things, he's been pretty decent. We have minimal contact - only about the kids and are kind and civil to each other. But I know for me, that night in October when we had our blow up was just another big sign to me. I had already accepted the reality - but that just really served as a big reminder to me of the truth. Ironically, it was 2 days before our dissolution hearing! (Hmm.....I wonder if that was a sign to give me strength?)

People ask how I'm doing - and honestly, I am doing okay. Yes, it saddens me that our life didn't turn out like I'd dreamed and wished that it would. But I also know that my life is better today than it has been for a long time.

I know though that I have a hard time when I see AH. I can only hope that tomorrow goes well and that I find that I have gotten much stronger. Keep me in your thoughts please.

Thanks!

Good Luck! The blow up may have been because he was giving you an repeat performance and the words sounded different this time. It takes very little time to feel mental health return. Life makes sense again. I think the blow up was a sign.

We made it through the class. The class was shortened because the lady who normally does it was ill and the magistrate/judge filled in for her.
AH asked for a ride home afterwards so I took him home. We discussed our daughter's medical issues.
He called later in the day to warn me of a storm that was heading my way as it was currently in his location.
Talked to him briefly concerning daughter when I dropped her off.

Today was one of those days where people looked at us odd - one of those days where we actually got along. lol

All in all - the day went okay and it's done. Just a matter of time before the papers are filed and all will be legally complete.

Thanks for the thoughts - I appreciate them greatly.
