Hey My Friends!!!!
I had my day in court today. I am now divorced, have sole custody of the boys and the judge granted me the family home! I will be putting it up on the market in the next few weeks and moving....I just can't say much more, I am in such shock, but had to let my friends here at SR know as you all know it has been one long hard battle.

Yes a long hard battle and I remember a time or two that you didn't think it was possible or that you would make it through.
You are now a fine example to others that we can come out the other side of things and be ok.

What a "growth opportunity" this has been for you, Rose! I can't imagine you would ever want to go back to what was before.
I am glad things are working out in the way you wanted. I am always amazed how much good stuff can come out of such pain.... (((Hugs)))
Thanks for checking in, I wish you well.

If you have not already been through it fully... there may be a grief time that comes with the divorce. It will pass and you will get through that as well. I think you will get past it so much easier then the past few years. Accept it if it comes and work through it and it will pass.
You will do ok from here on. You are an extremely strong lady.

Rose, Divorve is bittersweet. Hopefully, the bitter is about done and you're ready for the sweet.Your recovery skills,would indicate that picking up the pieces of the boys and your life should be a smooth transition that guarantees healing + flourishing.
Best wishes for a bright future.

Rose, I am sending you your very own bunny slippers here, not the ones with steel toes, but the ones we get to put on as we finally get to relax and enjoy the peace in our lives.
I know this wasn't easy for you, and you'll have days where it will still tug at your heart, but give yourself a big pat on the back for moving forward and finding a better life, one that is worthy of you.
We may not be spring chickens, Rose, but we've got a lot of life to live still and the best years are yet to come. Let's throw on something outlandish, and kick up our heels as we walk together here and share our light.
Here ya go, Rose, these look comfy and worthy of your tired feet...

Rose,
I hope your journey continues on calm water from now on!
Enjoy every teeny little itty bitty moment of the serenity you've fought so hard for!
And as I raise my morning orange juice, I say:
May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings, slow to make enemies and quick to make friends. And may you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.

So glad you've come out to the other side. A few scratches,
a little shaken, but it was worth it. Your much stronger now,
so get out there and seek peace and serenity. You deserve
it, girl. I'm glad your going to alanon, but miss you alot here.
Try to make time for you now. Do something wild and crazy.
Something you've wanted to do for a long time.
Cimb Mt. Everest? Of course. You can tackle anything now.
Sending good luck hugs, support, love, and a big ol' pat on
the back.
You Rock!

I agree with Happy. Give yourself some time to heal and adjust. Take time to feel the peace around you and enjoy the absence of drama in your home.
Of course, with the peace comes the responsibility. When I am not happy now, there is nobody to blame but myself, and I must admit, I have learned a few lessons down that path of enlightenment.
Be gentle with yourself. Realize that there are probably wounds that will need healing that you don't even know you have yet.
Good luck. The rocking chair will be here rocking whenever you need to come back for some comfort or support.
