Hello and good morning- thank you for the thoughts!
I signed up for the apartment yesterday. I can move in 11/28 even tho the lease doesn't start until 12/1- they'll let me have those three days as a bonus. The lady in the office was really sweet. She said her church had just started a Divorce Recovery Support group session and offered to sponsor me if I wanted to go. I don't think I'm ready for that just yet but I will consider it after I'm out.
So I guess Thanksgiving dinner is my last hurrah here, then I'm out. I feel sick to my stomach this weekend, but that too shall pass, I know. Gotta get past the suckiness...
One of the guys at work knew I was having marriage problems, he had been a bit of a sympathetic ear as we we're going to the MC since he's been there himself (he's divorced). I told him on my way out on Friday what I was planning, and he was quite surprised. He thought we would make it. He was a bit concerned about me leaving the house from a legal-strategy POV, but I told him it was for my emotional health, and that he understood, especially when I told him what the MC said at the last session.
Bonus- he's a partner at the firm. He said if I wanted, we could handle the divorce in-house so I wouldn't incur atty fees, just court costs. One of our guys does domestic and does a good job of it, so that's probably what I'll do. Hell, I fill the forms our for other people, I guess I can fill my own out too, right?
I told my Dad yesterday at lunch. He's not saying anything to Mom until she gets back from her trip to see my brother, and Dad will let me tell her. That was hard.
I have to drive S18 back to college this morning, time out of the house sounds good.
