You do sound good, but I'm not surprised at all, you've always had a good (and strong) head on your shoulders.
You know what you do have with this last meeting? You have your freedom. Yes, because now you can go anywhere, and not have to worry about that awkward first chance meeting with the xh... it's done and with great results. Now, if you run into him, you'll know exactly how you will feel and you have your own comfort level.
I personally find comfort in having pleasant feelings about people with whom I don't have a current relationship with... in other words, those old beaus that I once had a relationship with, but some how or some way we've grown apart, yet, can now be in each other presence without feeling bad or negative. I feel successful when this happens...
As a matter of fact, Dick is the only one I haven't managed to find that ground with... but had the divorce been the end of things, I believe I would have been able to peace with all that went on. I would have liked being "friends or friendly" with him so we could enjoy watching the children grow to be adults. It would have been nice to be able to share the parental pride, for there is enough to share.... yet, there hasn't been enough room or time between hearings. But enough of that, there's not a whole lot I can do to change the way things have turned out.
As for you my dear, you are a success! The doors are opening for you to enjoy... you've earned your E-Ticket.
It's been wonderful to read from everyone who has joined in this discussion, something I've needed to see for a while now, and am so glad you came here to post.
Take care of you,
