BRNR, I'm glad you returned today. Gathering info for the divorce is no picnic. It does take an emotional toll on you because it will bring back many old memories and thoughts as you move along. Once the divorce is finalized, I can promise you that a huge weigh will be lifted off your shoulders. You may be surprised just how heavy that weight has been. Give yourself time to heal and get your footing once again.
Our children went back to school August 20th and it's been a whirlwind of activities for them. So, I do understand what you are dealing w/when it comes to getting the children ready and back in school.
I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Be kind to yourself as you move along the divorce path. You are going to have ups and downs for a while from the coaster ride of emotions. Feel the pain and anger and then let it go. Your new life is right around the corner and hopefully your "old" Shmoopie will shuffle off into a dark hole to grow up all by his lonesome.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
