Wow, what a difference a few days make! I received the D papers (37 pages, ugh) a couple of days ago. I reviewed them last night and it looks like everything is pretty well in order although I need to make a more detailed pass through them. The financial requests all look reasonable. The petition was filed in August, so we're already past the 60 day waiting period (here in TX). All that's left now is to agree to the details, sign it and go to court to finalize it. Looks like I'll be D'd in a matter of weeks.
I thought it would be an emotional experience to receive the D papers and see it all in black and white, but surprisingly it wasn't at all. It's felt like this whole D thing has been hanging over my head like Damocles' sword and I was getting pretty tired of just not knowing what was going on. So it's actually a relief to have the papers and see the end of the tunnel. Time to close this chapter of my life and open a new one!
I'll keep posting here until the D is complete, then will move over to the "Surviving the Big D" forum.
It's been a heck of a journey, thanks to all of you for being there and offering support, comments and direction. It was a big help, especially just after BD when I was really lost, scared and confused!
