Great update M! How weird to face the person you committed your life to across a courtroom. How sad for everyone.

You sound busy, but happier. I can relate to the cleaning thing. It feels so good to get rid of the clutter! I agree about keeping the home if possible. While a part of me would want to 'start over' I can also see so much less trauma to the kids if they keep some things the same. Esp the home they've grown up in. I swear that's why H hasn't divorced me yet...we'd have to sell the home and it would devastate the kids.

Keep up the good work, M!
