Congratulations Hamburg! Thankfully my XH and I did not need to go the court route. Everything is done on my end except the final decree which should come at some point soon. I know exactly what you mean about it being bittersweet. Initially it is not what any of us who come on here wanted but it is the fate of many of us. The best thing to do is to make sure that you and your kids' health and safety needs are taken care of and then get to a place of acceptance and move forward. To do anything else is just prolonging the pain. I, too, feel like a huge weight has been lifted and am looking forward to building a new life. (((HUGS)))
