Fine tuning my inner Me

[DnJ]

Glad the paycheck is still being deposit as before. You didn’t need that stress.

As for my comments on divorce. I was completely the same as you. I saw, thought, and felt the same about divorce. And then suddenly I was. My view and feelings changed after that.

For what it’s worth, I hated that phrase “divorce is just a piece of paper”. That implies that marriage is as well. Neither of those are true! Well, yes and no.

I am not disagreeing or arguing with you; since you are correct. I’m even wondering why I am posting; guess I was touched with you being sad when contemplating this topic.

I don’t want to change your mind, or your view - you are right where you need to be. I just want to assure you, divorce, if you get to that point - and I hope, truly hope you don’t, acceptance turns it into a piece of paper. All the fear, worry, sadness, uncertainty - all let go, and they become a sheet of parchment. I found that is how hope can still live.

Grace, I really do hope you don’t experience what I am talking about.

And I am sorry for my rambling post. I thought about deleting it, but no. You’re a good friend, whose views sparked something inside me, and I wanted you to know how your post prompted me to organize my thoughts. Thanks.
