Cheers for that. It certainly was strange. I didn't even have the incentive to respond, still had a relatively decent nights sleep. It was only in the morning that I started to let my thoughts run a bit. If I had received this message a couple of months or so ago, I may have responded. Strange how time, a change of scenery/location and a slightly different perspective can change things.
Absolutely. Time and distance provide a much different perspective. Glad you're recognizing progress, and hope you know it will continue.

Hopefully you now know your rights inside and out and have a good L you can depend on. If she wants to avoid court make sure you're getting a fair deal under the law or if possible leverage her preference for a better deal for yourself...don't sign anything that's more a more favorable deal for her.

Excellent! You're starting to feel your strength. Continue working on yourself and keep up the momentum. Also be aware there will be ups and downs throughout the process, so don't get too down on yourself when you experience those bad days.
Keep moving forward!
