Sorry to hear your M is over as well. I can understand, somewhat how you feel. For me I felt numb. Strange how the WAS forgets things. During my D, my H was looking at me for certain dates of things.
Stay strong!!

I thougth I wouldn't post anymore, but..............
Day 1 of a new life.
Who says life doensn't have a reset button? Other than hungover, I feel great. With this all being over I feel relieved, unburdened, just great. As that started to hit me driving in this morning, I caught myself starting to tear up, but it was in happiness this time and felt good.
All of the pain and turmoil now belongs to XW, it has no place in my life now, I did my time and tried and waited and endured. As said, she will forever live the rest of her life in "what if".
The way she stood there in front of the judge emotionless says that won't be for some time, but I know that day will come, but, guess what, I'm not letting life pass me by anymore.
I discussed my plans of moving back into town with my attorney so that I can be back where I want to be and also so that one of us lives in the county of record. He said that it's a great idea. He really pulled through yesterday morning, I almost fainted several times lol.
Anyway, don't be sorry MsMelancoly, and thanks for your kind words. it is what it is, and XW got what she wanted, no more and actualy some less. Kind of surprised I didn't hear from her at all last night, but at the same time very glad I didn't.

Saw S11 last night at my usual 'pit stop'. He was riding his bike with his friends. Seems to be upbeat as well. Guess, the "war" is over, so everyone is releaved. Kind of stucnk I did not have them as I usually would have on Wednesday's.
I was expecting XW to play her guilt trip game on my phone about no longer having the visitation but that never happened. Good.
Other than missing my kids, it like all this was just a really bad dream.

Ahhhh... A 24 fan. Couldn't help but notice the "The following takes place" comment. Hmmmm. 24 looks like an easy day compared to this stuff eh? Been a tough summer for me so far. I've been trying to get the wheels turning, but....Like you, if one day goes to hell, I go to sleep thinking there is tomorrow. ZZ TOP is coming here in August, and for 250, you get a meet and greet WITH THE BAND. Been a fan of theirs for 20 years, so I'm trying like hell to get the dough to do this. Its also another 200 for a good seat. Been struggling financially, mainly due to not working alot...I'm a sub-contractor, and the work IS there, the motivation has come and gone. 3 months and I could be in good shape again. Frustrating has all hell having no energy but I keep trying. Guess my point is that you have to keep ,trying no matter how many setbacks. Either that, or you will be missing out on stuff.
Wow, the traffic here is a bit thin. Snicker. That can't be good. How are you holding up?
Hey, I pop over here every now and then, my "home" now is the surviving section.
Doing ok, was really great all last week, but a little down today due to lack of communication with the kids. As posted in my thread, XW seemed to be 'warming up' there for a bit, but then went stagnent again, so whatever. We are supposed to get together this week for the first time in ages to register the kids in school, so that ought to be interesting.
Other than that, life is good, I'm free to do what I want, when I want, and with whomever I want, while XW answers to OM, complains of that, complains of being broke and unsure what to do, hell even apologized for all this, but as I always answer her worries: "you got what you wanted"

Yeeeah. Be careful what you wish for, eh? My ex came out of bk in March and she goes before a judge soon to find out when she has to vacate her house. A bk and a foreclosure. That is to a credit report what a nuclear weapon is to a city. Her daughter and I still talk and I've heard it's been REAL tense over there. Ex and I were actually doing the 'friend' thing but I didn't like the ground rules so I said forget it. Made me look like an idiot anyway. She's just too far out there right now, and it may stay that way. I'm not exactly Donald trump myself right now, but I'm in no serious trouble and a month or so of kicking ass on income, and I'm back. Now if I can just find my bottle of kickass.
