I'm Divorced

Court went great! It was over in 30 minutes, and I got everything I wanted. I have custody of the boys and he is has limited visitation. He didn't even get a lawyer or show up. Although I had to sign a prenup before marriage I still got a fair settlement. I'm so relieved, and I'm going to be ok. I really don't think I could have done this without all the encouragement and wise words from everyone on this site. I know I will be tied to the is man through our children, but I know longer have to live in an unstable environment and be miserable. I actually feel free and relived. Today is a good day!

Happy "Day 1" of a new part of your life. Woop! Woop!!

Suggestion:

Honor and allow whatever feelings come today, tomorrow. Celebration is called for. Great protection of yourself & kids.

Grieve when it hits.

Maybe prioritize self-care this week?
Big changes here.

Happy for you! I hope you breathe a little easier, walk a little lighter, and have your head up a bit higher today - knowing that there is probably some bitter-sweetness to today.

Congrats on getting what you deserve!

Congrats Chev,

Just wanted to say that when I finally got divorced, it was a barrel of mixed emotions. I was happy, but I was also sad. It's to be expected. I don't know if the "sad" part of it was the realization that things were over, and that all the things that I thought when I took my vows, were just ended, or if I was no longer needed the adrenaline that I was working with for years, was no longer needed.

I guess I just wanted to say, is to feel what you feel. No feelings are right or wrong, they are your feelings.

So congrats, and best wishes to you. You deserve a wonderful, beautiful life.

((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))

Chev,
What wonderful news. I am sure you feel like 10 thousand pounds have been lifted off your shoulders. Take this time and relax. Enjoy the time with you kids. Sending hugs to you and your kiddos.
