that's good... how are you feeling?

I was about to do something awesome again, but I told myself, "Enough is enough! That's plenty of awesome for one day."

Congratulations! This step must help provide some closure. And it must be nice to have all the paperwork done! Hope you are well.

Congrats! I hope you are feeling ok. I know it is probably a relief that it is done...and I'm sure it hurts some too. I hope you have a good relaxing evening...do something fun...It's onward and UPWARDS! :)

You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think!

you sound very relieved! Did something come up that you didn't know about prior to marriage and did you try to make the marriage work? Enjoy your day, you sound very excited!

I feel great - like a huge weight has been lifted off me. Tennis player it 's a long story but the man I fell in love with doesn't exist - it was all an act to get me, my 401k money to buy a house and to help him raise his very perverted son.

I don't want to get into the rest of it because it's in the past but let me just say he has gone from working in the ministry to being a thief (he stole from the church and was subsequently fired), he had an affair (my daughter caught him having sex with a coworker in our home while I was at work) and I discovered love letters from the woman in Dec that said they had been having the affair for 6 months. She's 20 years younger, a drug addict and now he is, too.,

I am so happy this is over and I am in the process of finding myself - someone I lost a long time ago but she is slowly coming back to life.

I am going to be living proof that there is life after an emotionally abusive marriage and God can heal you from all the hurt and pain.

Thank you Suzee. My ex text messaged me at 8:15 tonight wanting to know what our status was. Gee, he knew the divorce was going to happen almost 12 hours earlier; guess it was his way of letting me know he really just doesn't care. So what did I do? For the first time in my life I hit the delete button and didn't answer him!!

I cannot explain the freedom I felt by making the decision to no longer allow him to control ANY part of my life!!
