Hopeless feelings

[techguy]

Remember, him filing really doesn't hurt you in any way. As my C used to say: "You don't care when the process starts, only when it ends".

If anything, the filing helps you as it forces a discussion on topics like how the finances will be split, child support, etc. It tends to force the walk away back to reality a bit as they realize life post-D will have some pain associated with it.
