And if it wasn't for D I could never have this creature in my life again.
But this B is going to be in my life forever. More sadly, a "role model" for D.
That....
Makes me angry.
But....as I have found throughout this process...
These feelings pass. And in TIME...it will be OK.
I do have a sense of relief as well. Like you said. Knowing the outcome is nice. We live in a state of "what if" for so long. I will focus on the current details needed to put the legal side of this behind me for now.
After that is complete. I will be left with only my future. And making it happen in the now.
