A new beginning to an end

[soleil]

I passed my final last night for one of my classes!!! I am stoked. A funny thing happened too. Saw my parents last night and told my dad that I will be going to see a L on Monday re: D and he nonchalantly said, "I thought you already filed."

I dont know why but this made me laugh. Like it was so normal/unsurprising to him.

Then he offered me ice cream (my favorite). Aw. Good old dad.

Ran into my former neighbor's this morning (neighbors from me and H's house). They are elderly and were so happy to see me, hugging me, telling me to come back and visit, that they miss me. I thought they'd ask about me & H but they didn't (I know they still see him all the time). It was so nice to see them.

Sol, great job on confronting him! You got the answer that you didn't want to hear but needed to hear.

He's being nice out of guilt and possibly so you can be lenient in the divorce process with the house etc- DON'T!!!

Yeah I did need to hear it from him. Glad I did, too. And I hadn't thought about his niceness being related to our D'ing. Interesting... will def take that into consideration.

I'm glad that you're moving forward. It takes a lot of strength and courage to do it and I'm proud of you!

Hehe. Thanks for the pick-me-up. Yeah it feels as if I am turning a new page on my life. I walk around without my ring on and don't feel weird if people see my ringless finger anymore. Small things like that. This morning I made my bed and as I was putting the pillows atop I was thinking, H is never going to sleep on that side again and that's a reality. Acceptance.

Now I've got two more classes to finish and I will be done with this semester. Thank God!
