Divorce Final!

I thought I'd never every say this but, our divorce is final.

I am FREE!!!

I feel so relieved and free.

The situation is that I filed for divorce in late 2002 almost 2 years after we married and had every intentions of finishing this sooner. But then he filed something and what tried to file in response to it wouldn't be accepted by the court. So some time went by. Then when I went to ask about it, I was quoted anywhere from $800 to $1500. Sure, its not alot, but it was more than I had.

Then 2 months ago he went to the court clinic, they worked with him on what needed to be completed. A hearing was put on record and today, the judge said the dissolution was final as of today's date.

I walked away from there H I G H! HIGHER than I've ever been on any drug I've ever taken. I felt amazing. Even people at work noticed. I even saw a man looking at me as I drove around singing at the top of my lungs. I felt genearlly happy!

Ahhh......

Then he called to ask me how I felt. I don't think its his business how I feel...so I told him I didn't feel different. Apparently, he felt bad and had a bit of a difficult day. He admitted that he wished things would have turned out later. I reminded him that this was his choice. While I initiated the divorce, his actions proved that he didn't want the responsibility of a wife and kids. He got quiet and then I just excused myself from the phone. I told him its okay....this is for the best.

So my divorce marks the 100 year anniversary of the 1906 SF Earthquake. How cool is that!!!
