"Officially" piecing... now the real work begins..

I think all of us have gone through this with friends and family in one form or another. When I told one of my better friends that WAW wanted to file, he told me that was good. He was glad. Okay, well that made one of us. My parents won't even talk to S19 or D21 as if they had anything to do with what their mother is doing. My brother thinks I'm nuts for waiting as long as I did. And even several of WAW's best friends thought it was strange, odd or wrong that I was taking the course that I was. I have no idea what any of them think now that we are Divorced. I can tell you for certain though that I had more who questioned me than supported me. Then again, in the end, perhaps they saw or knew something that I didn't as you see where 14 months of DBing ultimately got me - the same place as no DBing would have - only that likely would have had it done and over with faster. Sorry if I sound bitter. That's not my intention. Moreso, I'm just trying to point out that I at least have the leave the door wide open to the fact that these people were giving me good advice - advice that perhaps I should have taken. Of course, hindsite is a whole other deal. It could have worked out and then I would have been so glad that I didn't listen to them.
