This is it

(Not a false alarm this time ...lol)

My papers have been filed with the court and he will be served tomorrow. I am scared and emotional but I know this is right. Can't thank you all enough for being a support system...you may be hearing from me quite a bit the next few days as I navigate through the fallout on the other side. Prayers and hugs accepted

Congratulations 1000words! Sending you an infinite amount of hugs and prayers.

Be sure to put on your $hitshield and brace yourself for the blow back. I don't say that to scare you but prepare you. I'm about 13 1/2 months ahead of you in the process and if there is anything I can do to help you, don't hesitate to send me a PM and ask. You are not alone!

Get your journal/camera/recording device ready and be sure to document any and all behavior that is threatening to you.

SO PROUD OF YOU!

Just in case it helps...I accidentally found a phrase when ending a relationship with a really difficult person that helped: “this relationship brings out the worst in both of us.”

For some reason it made it more acceptable to him...maybe because it was less about blame and more about chemistry.

We’re in your pocket.

Sending you a hug.

Yes. It's really all it boils down to. I'm tired of forcing something that is obviously not working. Thank you.

I've posted this before but when people hear that I'm going through a divorce they say "I'm sorry," to which I reply, politely, "you'd be more sorry for me if I stayed." #TRUTH

Keeping my fingers crossed for you thousandwords. Hope that the fallout is minimal... or nil. Hope that you get through this easier than anticipated.

If you survived years with an alcoholic, you can survive that alcoholic having a tantrum when he realizes you're really done. I really believe the worst is behind you.
