Divorce Act 1 Final scene 

My Divorce is final as of 9:30 am this morning.  The day started at 3 when M came in saying her tummy hurt.  The rain started soon after and lulled us back to sleep. Had most lovely dream interrupted by the sound of the alarm and my usual morning routine.  The pouring rain made it hard to get up but I needed to be at the courthouse by 9 am. Got the dogs and cats fed did a bit of exercise and tried to get M up and ready for school.  She gave me an example of what the teen years will be like...I'll need good meds. 

The rain kept falling but it suited my mood. We finally got on the road and I dropped M off at school with a smile even.  Made it to the court house with time to spare but found out it built on the rabbit warren concept and I was nowhere near where I actually needed to be. 

I made it to the court with 1 minute to spar.  Lucky for me the judge was late. I was the second case on the docket.  I answered the attorney's questions but when she got to the 'are you pregnant' question I blurted out 'good heaven's no!'. The judge had a good chuckle over that.  He said 'well that was emphatic!"  Then he granted the divorce and signed the decree.  All over in less than 25 minutes. I was in and out in less than an hour. J wasn't even in town....

Cried abit last night and this morning but mostly I'm relieved that this limbo is over.  There is still a part of me that hurts because I couldn't sustain this relationship for the sake of my child but I KNOW that she'll be better off with 2 or even 1 happy parent rather than 2 unhappy ones.
