19 months and its 99% over

My divorce was final on 12/3(3 days before my 50th birthday) but I got the notice in the mail today!!! How do I feel, you ask? Well, I feel empty, relieved, happy, sad, broke, and like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. There’s just one more detail that has to be taken care […]

The remnants of a divorce

So today, his stuff was picked up! 9 am, right when it was scheduled. And it was such a shame that it was raining…..I say sarcastically, I had no qualms about putting it out in the rain. This has been 19 month in the making. It definitely didn’t have to take this long but he dragged […]

Almost over

Finally, this Sunday, I hand over the things that he wants from the house. Thank god it wont be him picking them up. He is having some family members pick it all up.

Moving forward..
