Whilst your W had forewarned you, it isn't nice to receive D papers ever. And you are bound to feel some upset. It is also hard to read negative things about yourself when your W had the A. But as you say, it isn't the time to try and be 'right' - there just isn't any point to that.
One thing to be aware of is that she could try and claim that you should pay her legal fees. In our response to the draft papers, my L said I was willing for the D petition to proceed as drafted and on the basis that H would not ask me to pay his L fees.
As for your sitch overall, receiving D papers is just another milestone, along with S, D and so on. It's ultimately up to you whether you decide to leave the door open a tiny crack. On a positive note, it sounds like you had a good night last night. I'm out for a drink with a friend in a bit (changed our plans from a movie) but I expect to be in bed by midnight of course
Take care my friend xx
