The papers signed by the Judge came today. I've been officially divorced
for two weeks now.


I don't feel anything. Is that wrong or is it a step in the right
direction?

Glenn, Its not wrong to feel the way you do,, I can say I felt the same
way when I finally got the Papers, and a month later it finally hit me
and hit hard,, I cried for days,,, We all deal
with issues differently in life, You are moving forward in your life and
to make life better for you and the boys,,, If the tears or anger dont
come its okay,,, For I am sure the future will be bright for you.

LAMom,
Tears won't come. She did me wrong. I thought I'd be elated, but it's
just another day.

Glenn, when I got my papers, all I felt was relief. And a blister on my
toe.

my husband and i were completely separated for better than two years
when we finally divorced...i felt nothing.

there was a tiny twinge of sadness when i removed my engagement earring,
but i'm not sure if that's because i wore the damned thing for nine
years, or because of him.

if you aren't numb...and you aren't angry or sad...then chances are, you
are healing/healed. and that's exactly where you want to be.

Hummm I was a happy camper when I got mine matter of fact went out and
got drunk hummmmmm ohhhh what a night that was.


You will realize it is for the best for you and the boys. Time to start
your life over knowing that you and the boys come first. And if there
happens to be someone else in your life later then they will have to
accept your life as it is and the boys will always come first in your
life no matter what. Just never let anyone come between ya. Its a tough
road but one that is well worth it in the end.bigsmile

Lulu,
It's been two years separated for me too. I think you're right.

Txs,
I already know it's for the best. I'm just surprised that I don't feel a
damn thing .

Everybody deals differently, I think the longer the process took, the
more likely you are to have less of a reaction, you have been doing your
healing process all along.

I remember being both glad and sad, but mine only took about 4 months,
so was still in the healing process.

Congratulations on your freedom. Take care.

A distinct desire for the fighting to stop, didn't, talk w/her last
summer, still blaming me for getting her pregnant in high school. Feel
so sorry for her.

BigGlenn darlin, You will be fine and you are feeling what most people
feel from being seperated for so long.

Glenn, seriously, as sad as it can be, and as much as it can hurt, when
a relationship ends and is officially certified "over and done with,"
the fact is sometimes it's just better to have that person out of your
life.

I think it takes a certain amount of distance before that fully sinks
in, though. I know if I had stayed married, I would probably be dead by
now. Sometimes you have to know when to put "us" away for the good of
"me." I know that sounds selfish, but you can't do yourself or anybody
else any good if you're clinging to something destructive.

Well Glenn I had my divorce final 3 1/2 months later ya think I would
have felt more than I did but after all the pain he had put me through
the last 2 years of our marriage. There was no feelings left for him.
That was 15 years ago for me. So no there is nothing wrong with you not
feeling anything she took care of those feelings along time ago. You
have already had to deal with all that now it is just final in the
courts eyes, even though it has been final for you for a while.
