Celebration

by Sherri Foster

After over a year of bickering, negotiating and compromises, I got a call from the attorney yesterday. He signed the decree!!! I promptly hung up the phone and went whooping and dancing through the warehouse at work as if I had one the lottery. It has been as though I was swimming through a vast body of mud at times…slogging along but not quite sinking. Today I feel a huge weight has been lifted (yeah…about 175 pounds of it) and that I am free to move on with the rest of my life. No longer to I have to consider my marital status when I date. I can try to clean up my credit score as that has suffered during all this. I have a tangible plan for visitation and hopefully one day my daughter will want to see her father again. However, today I am happy for the distance they have just so both of them can gain some perspective. There is so much more to tell….

About Divorced Life

My divorced life is a site dedicated to the oftentimes offbeat witticisms and musings associated with life during and after the dissolution of marriage.
