I think it really is over this time

tl2, sorry to hear about the signing of the divorce papers. This final lap to the D is the hardest and the most painful.

I am glad that you have a strong circle of support around you. Like you said, the future is unknown and is full of potential. The D may not be the end. It may be a new beginning although the old marriage is dead.

What would you be doing on the day you finalise the D? Good to have close friends on standby if you think you will like company.

Thanks Grl,

I will most likely be heading out of town for a few days to spend with family and/or friends.

Tl2, I am a couple steps behind you. W gave me papers2.0 an hour ago. Sent me a text that I needed to sign or get an L of my own. I wish I had the pma you have. And now, I need to get a L.

tl2, sounds like you've got yourself covered. You're a strong man. Sending positive thoughts your way

[tl2]

Hang in there dday. And definitely get a lawyer.

[tl2]

Grl,

Well it's easy to sound strong on the internets

I can say that I have bent a good bit but haven't broken and can definitely see the dark clouds getting farther and farther behind me.

tl2, yes, it's easy to sound positive on the internet. But it's also easy to sound negative.

You have shown strength in your decision to do the former.

[tl2]

Thanks

I'm signing the papers on Thursday afternoon. Hopefully will be able to be strong there too, or at least fake it real good!

Thanks for the encouragement.

Hi tl2. I just caught up with your story. It is a bit surreal as I feel like so much of what you described is exactly what I've been going through. I felt like I was reading my journal! I'm so sorry to hear that you are in the final D stages. I am both saddened and encouraged by your story. Saddened because those of us on this side of the road.... Who have acknowledged our part in the problem.... Don't always have the power to swing the situation. Encouraged by your strength and resilience.
