undignified Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 So I went and picked them up. Divorce papers in hand and I am going to fill them out tonight. I am sure I am making the right decision but it still makes me feel sad. How did I let it go this far? A part of me has died. I know there are new parts waiting to be born but still...
carhill Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Each day is a new day and this sadness will recur from time to time and at the least imaginable moments. A part of who you were has died. My sympathies. My stbx possesses most of the reminders of our decade of being together and she's better equipped emotionally than myself to live with all that stuff around her. So, other than a few 'discoveries' which triggered sad episodes, things haven't been too bad. If you and your partner can resolve things amicably, that should go a long ways to lessening the grief process. Move in positive ways. Best wishes
seibert253 Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Today is the first day of the rest of your life. No retreat, no surrender.
imagine Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I am sorry that you took the abuse for so long. Do not look for another abuser. Grieve. Get involved with social events while you bring up the kids.
Elizabrary Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I finished my divorce papers today also. Couldn't file them because the clerk's office wasn't open as it is New Year's Eve. I cried on the way- so stupid because I know it is for the best and he is not worth my tears. My friends say I feel this way because I am a good, caring person who invested myself in someone else, even if he was the wrong choice. I try to remember that.
