The D felt normal before it was ever final. I would say last summer when I filed is when it felt normal. I don'teven remember much how it felt to have him here. We were only married 3 years, but together 10 years. I more missed my best friend when he left instead of my H. S was 18 months old so most of his life I have been by myself so I don't have many memories of us as a family. When S was a newborn XH worked and volunteer coached at a local high school so I was alone the first 8 weeks of S's life because XH wouldn't give up the extra although I had a screaming colicy baby and needed him.
So yeah this all feels normal and I embrace it as my life. I still cringe when having to say I am divorced to people he knows that I don't well mostly because I wonder what they think...being human, but in most other ways I embrace it. The best is yet to come!
