Well the process has begun. I have the papers. Procedural mostly. Nothing about how things get split or parenting plans.
One good thing, court requires a parenting class. It doesn't look like much, two two-hour classes to discuss the impacts of divorce on children - really? I wouldn't feel like a total wreck if I didn't understand that. Maybe it'll be something to make a difference in my W's cavalier attitude about this whole thing.
Another great call today with my DB coach. This is an important time in this process. My biggest 180 will be to go through this without any pushing at all but full acceptance and giving her plenty of space. Buying any time will be important, finding time for me will be too. Throughout these past couple of months that's been the hardest one to define. 25yrs is a long time to be a husband and friend. Not sure what I look like alone. I guess i need to find out. I will be maintaining focus on the kids though. Did I mention I took the boys to the Harlem Globetrotters? They had a blast - me too. I'll keep looking for opportunities like that and also looking around for me; just not sure if I'll know it when i see it.
