Hey Buddy...

It's the holidays. Lots of emotions bubble forth like sparklies in champagne. For you. For the kids. For her.

As my wise brother kept telling me.. just get it over with. Wrap up the divorce so you're living YOUR life, so neither you or the kids keep living in limboland. So the boundaries are completed. So that the new norm become settled.

And completing a divorce is tough. I know I felt like I was in a movie, disassociated, amazed that it was actually happening. *hugs* But you've done tougher things.

Push your lawyer to finish it. Her behavior is not going to change with a piece of paper. So tell her you'd like to wrap this up promptly. Tell your lawyer the same thing. You can choose to tell her that right now it's better for you to keep to email. Or you need your space to 'heal'.. transition.. whatever.

Pick yourself up by your bootstraps and wrap up the last 5% of this taxing process. It's the final push that's always the hardest, but the most rewarding.

Finish it off.

The best it yet to come.

Just do it.

*hugs*

And remember.. you're pretty adorable.

*hugs*
