I am waiting for it all to really set in. I really didn't feel that emotional yesterday, which surprised me, but I guess I've already been through the worst of it. The only time I teared up was when my friend who went with me asked if I would be Miss or Ms now. She was so good to me yesterday, went to court with me, took me to breakfast afterwards, took me to happy hour last night, she really showed me what friendship was all about. She had no idea, and neither did I, that the one thing that would make me cry would be that little prefix before my name.
I'm not sure how much compassion I have left in me. I guess I just know that my XH is still a very lost man. I hope my attitude stays positive. I know the coming year will bring a lot of ups and downs, but I guess when you finally let go, or in my case have your fingers pried loose, you can finally see the other side, and it's not really that bad.
Cyber hugs back to you (((AH))), you set a good example to me on how to behave through this ordeal. There are many on this board that I thought of yesterday while I was at the court house, and I gained a lot of strength just knowing I was not alone, and that if others could do it with dignity and grace, so could I.
