Well folks, my D decree should be signed off by tomorrow. Ready to have this chapter of my life finished.
Now, my family is my children and me. And that's just fine. I know they love me, really love me. Not because they have to, but because they want to.
I took the kids to school this morning, as I usually do, and they are pretty excited for out Disney trip this weekend. So am I.
Our Their cat died over the weekend, and my S was upset about it last night when I called to talk to the kids on the phone. I told him I was sorry and understand he was sad (so was I) but that it would be ok. It seemed to calm him down.
I am optimistic about the future, and I've already begun meeting new friends, some of whom are very attractive women. I am going to do some budgeting for the future to set some goals for getting back into a house/townhouse and to set aside some money for travel. I put that off far too long under the guise of being a "good husband" and not spending my family's money.
And, of course, I will budget savings for the kids, mostly b/c I don't think stbxw will. That, and I love my children.
