I've been very depressed this month. It's because my divorce will be final February 4. My STBXW is now driving hard for the finish line: get divorce final in Feb., finish conversion to Catholicism in March (OM is a devout Catholic), buy house with OM in April, wedding in May. When she sets a goal, absolutely nothing will stop her and she will step on anyone who gets in her way.

Anyway, I just learned she has set a wedding date and she asked me to take care of our DD while she goes on her honeymoon. It's all got me down.

The purpose of all of this is to ask how everyone felt and how you coped as the divorce was about to become final (I know some rejoiced, but I'm not there yet). Advice on coping, detaching and moving on are all welcome.
