I am officially divorced today. Kinda of stunned right now.

Thumper

Well this is the end of a chapter. I hope you can plan something that is warm, comforting, and filled with self-care tonight.

Tomorrow is a new year, a new day, and a new chapter.

Hey you,

happy new year,

the stunned is pretty normal.

Rest, be nice to yourself, try to move through whatever is coming in as peaceful way as possible. Let it happen.

A New Year...a...New Beginning!

That's exactly how I felt, too. Thought I'd want to celebrate. Or feel a huge relief. Or something. I felt nothing. Just tired. Like I was waiting for a reaction that didn't come.

You did the right thing. Your children will thank you. I don't know if you did end up getting stuck paying alimony but even if you did, it's temporary and worth it.

Now let 2013 be a year of focusing on rebuilding a healthy life for you and those kiddos.

Ouch! Even when it's right, it's hard. Hugs to you. Be kind to yourself.

I get it.

I thought I would celebrate and asked people to help me do so.

When the deed was done I didn't tell anyone after all.

It is anticlimatic... to say the least. Sorry for the loss you may feel. I know that is all I felt... and after a time.... I moved forward. Sit with your sadness and when you feel like letting go and moving forward the day will come. All will be ok.

Divorce can bring mixed emotions.
Just feel them & look forward.
2013 will be your year & the start of a better life.
Happy New Year.

I remember when you first posted and what you were thinking/feeling/experiencing back then. You did what you had to do for the sake of your sanity and the well-being of your children.

You're a good Dad and you did the right thing for your little ones. Take comfort in that. Things will be okay.

Peace,
C-OH Dad

That is right where you should be! Makes you a better person.
I'm down the road some. My advice is let the tears out and fill the hole in your heart with unconditional love from God. Find some private time and read and pray. Humble yourself and it is AWESOME!
Seek God first before all else and know Him.
Praying for you.

Congratulations! It does take a while to get used to. However, as a friend of mine who was ahead of me in the process said to me at the time, "You see the light at the end of the tunnel, and when you get there, the light never goes out." You're there now. Enjoy the light, and walk in it.

Thanks everyone. Not sure yet on the financial side how it went, but at least it's final now.
