Journaling:

Feeling really stressed out. The whole situation right now feels like more than I can bear. Negotiating settlement directly with stbx round 2 to get to something fair. I’m pushing the pace of the d now because I want this to be over. Enjoyed weekend with the kids without w. Doing a good job of faking that I am okay and everything is normal but inside I am in turmoil and things are definitely not okay. Did I mention I took off the ring last week? Everyone here said you’d know when it was time to do it and you were right. It just didn’t feel right anymore. But I’m going to be strong. Stbx will not get everything she wants in this settlement and I’m willing to legally fight if necessary. Not what I want to do, but I’m not afraid to go there.
