You sound wonderful! Feeling "ready" to move forward is an awesome place. Scary, sad, hopeful, empowering. Wow. Sit in it. It will flucuate, as all our emotions do in this sitch. But you are amazing!!
OMG, I have been fighting with my H over the mowing too!! I get it, he doesn't want his 7 months preggo wife mowing the lawn...but I don't want him hanging out at the house. I work 3 days a week, you can mow then!! I ended up having a neighbor come over and show me how to start the dang mower.
My H and I do plan on trying mediation once it comes to D time. In our state, probably most, you can use a lawyer to mediate and hammer things out. WAAAAAAAAAY cheaper. I spoken to lawyers, I've gathered all my intel and whatnot, but I hope to go that route when the time comes. No need to completely finanacially emplode ourselves. You might want to look into that too. I agree with letting your H file.
Wow, big steps you've taken. I'm soooooo proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
