OK with it all finally 

Well I think I am at the point in my life where acceptance and grief are no longer a daily part of my life.

 

Acceptance that this is really happening and I have to take control of what is going to happen in the future and that he is really an idiot.  It did not take me a long time to figure that one out though.

 

Grief is pretty much gone.  I am no longer at the point where tears are controlling everyday life.  I still wonder everyday how the ex is doing and then reality kicks in and I wounder why I am wasting my energy on that thought.

 

I never thought that I would get here.  But here I am and I am still alive and my life is blessed with friends and family who love me and support me everyday with what ever I need.

 

Looking forward from a visit from my parents.  It has been over a year since I have seen my dad (in Canada) He has been sick, so I am glad that he will be coming.  They are going to spend a month with me and our kids.  I can't wait.

 

Have tickets to a concert in Raleigh this month too.  The boys are really excited, they are jumping with joy.  I love to see that. 

 

I never in a millon years thought I would be among the divorced people in this world.  Forever and vows the whole thing has really been the staple of my existence.  I guess I need to find a new focus.  Time to focus on the divorce now that my head is clear and my emotions are not running wild with anger and resentment.  Although...He is about to have a fight on his hands.  I can be a force to be reckoned with, I know this.  I also know that I do not give in that eaisly....I have put on the armor and have made the appointment for legal separation first.  Then the plans for divorce can come when ever he is ready for that.  He is broke, so of course he wants me to pay for everything.

 

It will be alright in the end.  It is wether or not I take control of the situation or give it to him.

Dyben, good for you!  I am meeting with my attorney tomorrow evening to finalize the PSA and hopefully sign the complaint...after which I only have to wait 90 days and then it should, please God, be done.  Finis.  Kaput.

I wish we could all go out for drinks or something!

I'm so glad to read this from you. You are so much better and now you are ready to get what you need for you and your boys. I haven't thought about my ex in almost a month. I'm getting better too.
Take care

Dyben, this is a great post. You sound very positive and relieved.  It is a tough thing to go through but I can tell you that what is waiting for you at the other end if probably something wonderful.
I'm very happy for you.

I feel like you wrote everything that I am feeling.  I will also not start the divorce proceedings.  Finally realizing that we are really going to end our marriage, but I still have a little (most likely false) hope that this is a nightmare and he will want to come home. Take care and stay strong.

Good for you dyben!!!  I know it's hard to accept the reality of the situation, but once you get over that hump, the rest falls into place a little easier.  Now you can take that first step of the rest of your life...close one chapter, open a new one in your book of life.  It's scary, I know...but a little exciting too, isn't it?

I'm glad that you're also getting ready for the fight...get your head in the game.  I know it's a fight you didn't want, but he wants it, so you need to be ready...and I'm glad that you are and that you're willing to fight!!!  We'll all be here for you and cheer you on!!!
