Spent this last week engaged in some GAL activities. I linked up with a friend who also is going through marital issues. Unlike myself, he has taken active steps to go through with his divorce after he was served with the papers by his W a few days ago.

He's tired of being in limbo. His W cheated on him numerous times while he was deployed. His W tried to reconcile but he declined. We had a long talk about our respective situations and linked up again to share a meal and watch a movie as he cared for his children for the weekend.

I witnessed for the first time how phone negotiations, child custody, and other legal divorce matters were unfolding in real life before me,as my friend was tackling each issue his own way

I told him about DB, but he said he was tired of trying. Too much hurt...I reflected on my own situation with my W and children living 900 miles away from me. My friend said he felt a big burden lifted from his shoulders because he could finally move on with his life. I have to respect that.
