Artsy nailed it. It's very scary. Maybe it wasn't the best R for you or her, but your W has been around, at least, for 17 years. I have had the same thoughts - it is scary going from having at least something that you had hope might someday work out, to having nothing. (In terms of a "romantic" relationship - obviously neither of us have nothing.)

It's scary to have no idea what the future holds. As others may point out, you didn't really know before either, but I think you had a pretty good idea, anyway.

I'm confused about whether you filed. I thought you filed on 2/20, but you said you are getting a draft today. Is the draft of the D petition or something else?
