So here I am. Move over from newcomers where I met so many wonderful friends and eventually took a break from posting. Still lurking there a bit and staying a top old pals threads. Many of us are all in the same big boat over here on the "Divorce Cruise" as I am calling it.

Anyway, just felt I needed to start posting again as I was starting to get caught up in the whoa is me crap that can happen from time to time. Reading some of the threads here have given me a few laughs, a tear or two and some real insight into what others are going through and know that I am not alone.

Just wanted to make myself known over here and toss out my nickels worth if I feel it can be of any use and of course would like they same.

Currently my STBX and are in the awful holding pattern of D. State of MA requires parenting classes and a certificate before they will even consider you for a court date so i am waiting...it feels like an eternity of waiting for the donkey (STBX is nickname) to get his so we can proceed.

Anyone, having dealt with a D in MA know how long these local probabate courts may leave me dangling for a final court date once we get these stupid certificates to them? This was the final peice of info which the donkey proclaimed he didn't know he needed...

Thank you in advance for any imput. Sorry we are all here.
