Divorce is final

I became single again today.  Leap Day! Rather appropriate, don't you think?I do not feel much of anything yet, neither relief nor despair. Mostly I am just exhausted. I am determined to carve out a better life for me AND my children.

Feeling completely drained, exhausted. 2 years since he began cheating. It has been a long road. I had to hand him a cashier\'s check today-biggest check I ever have had in my hand. It was excruciating to have to hand that over to him when I know I paid the mortgage for years and years. Divorce is not fair. I hear from others that it is typical to have a whole new burst of emotion or depression when the divorce is final. I just want to sleep. I have to push myself to do ANYTHING right now. I guess I need to indulge this for a little whle before I try to push ahead. I am truly worn-out!

It is a tiring thing and usually met with all manner of emotions. Sounds like right now you are emotionally and mentally drained which is to be expected. Take some time to get yourself together and rest.

Well, the one thing is that you will never have to hand him another check like that ever again.

I know how you feel about the emotions and depression. Be gentle with yourself.

Hugs!
