Divorce and Acceptance part 5

[Pax_luv]

Hello DB friends,
Been a while since I popped in. Truth be told I still lurk from time to time but don’t have it in me to routinely post. I am tired. Covid fatigue is real.

I just remembered that it had been a year since the failed court-ordered mediation. I can’t believe how quick and slow the time goes. I remember finally feeling somewhat validated when the mediator was like “he’s such an a-h*le” yep... he used the full term too. Not the abbreviation I annotated. It was a moment of “whew, I’m not being unrealistic.”I needed that.

As I documented here, the rest of the trial journey was more of the same. I’ve officially been divorced since the end of September but we still don’t have anything submitted to the court. I’m soooo mad. I mean, did I really expect it to be any other way??

As part of the “settlement” we agreed that they would absorb the cost of completing the paperwork and getting it ready for signature. Welllllllllllll I’m still waiting. As suspected they keep adding in things that weren’t agreed upon. And while some of the items legally should be done now, as they were read into the record, the ex still isn’t complying. Such a leach.

Ahhhh I’m so tired. When will this be over? I mean I’ve been paying my lawyer for longer than I was married. This is insanity. Obviously I’m frustrated, but I do continue to have peace in my heart and I don’t take that for granted.

That’s all I got for now.
Warm holiday wishes to you all....
