It's the lies that hurt the most for me. I want the divorce to be over so I can move forward and begin healing, but I also know to protect myself financially. I don't trust and I've hired a very competent attorney, so hopefully next week at mediation we can settle, mail the stuff in and I'll be divorced by April 15.
I'm sorry for your kids and all they've had to deal with and continue to have to deal with. I'm a teacher and I see it time and time again. The good news is that kids are so resilient and seem to handle things much better than adults.
I was off the board for several months and just came back on to get some support as my divorce winds up. So many people here have given such great advice and support. Happiness will happen again for the both of us, I know!
