(((97HOPE))). So sorry Hope... I remember the day my STBXH handed me a legal separation agreement. It made it very real very fast. I agree with you. I think he will wake up one day with regret. You can’t think about that though. You need to put yourself first now and make sure you get a fair settlement in your D. Keep reading the other sitchs...it will help. If you had asked me how I would be doing seven months after getting those papers, I would never have guessed that I would be doing this well. Stay the course. Count your blessings. KNOW that you will get through this and you WILL heal from it and be a better person because of it. And you WILL be happy again. Sending you lots of positive energy and long distance (((HUGS))).
