Divorce is FINAL!!
 
I got the papers signed today! What wild emotions... Estatic because the XAH is out of my lie.... Sad because my marriage didn't work....

It scary because I don't even feel like I was ever married. I felt like I took on a dependent (emotionally and financially). We were only married 1.5 years. Frustrated I lost 2.5 years of my life and I have most of his debt to pay off. Scared of getting back into the dating scene when I am ready..... Hoping Al-Anon has giving me the tools to not get myself back into that type of situation!

Overall, just relieved!! Just wanted to share. :a122:

Not going to say it was easy! But feels better on this side of it. I'm glad I never gave in to my selfishness to have children, even tho I desparately want them, it made it easier and faster. The whole process took 3 months and 7 days!!

good luck to you!

SaWEEET.

Congrats.

Isn't it terrible and wonderfully sad that we here on F&A of SR actually congratulate those getting divorced or 'out' of a relationship. And those of us still 'in' feel jealous. LOL!
