My attorney contacted me today to say that my divorce has been signed off on by the judge. The Gnat is officially ex-Gnat. I don't really feel anything at all. I thought that I might feel a little sad, but I really don't. I met some friends for dinner this evening and we had a toast to my new beginning. Other than that, we just talked about all kinds of other things. It was nice to not have my relationship drama be the focus of my girlfriend time any longer.
I fear that I will probably still have some low points, but I feel like I'm ready for my new beginning.
Oh, and the Gnat picked up the kids tonight for his weekend with them and I didn't tell him. He will be notified via snail mail next week. I figured that I won't give him and Hello Kitty anything to celebrate this weekend.

Apology. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Thanks kg201! I 'm so grateful to this site and all the support I've received. This road would have been so much rougher without it.
Yes, Hello Kitty. You really can't not call her that when a woman in her 30's wears Hello Kitty clothing. She's a winner.

Get out! She does not wear the clothing. Is she like a Japanese teenager trapped in a 30-year old's body?
As I said on a previous post I need to come up with a better name for my WW's AP. He's an attorney that is much older than my wife. I was thinking of going with the daddy theme. Maybe Daddy Warbucks or Mr. Magoo.

Yes, she wore a Hello Kitty shirt the first time she met my DD. I thought at first that she was just trying to impress my 5 year old, but I have since found out through DD that Hello Kitty LOVES Hello Kitty and has all kinds of clothing, trinkets, etc. The Gnat even bought her a Hello Kitty bouquet, LOL! If you knew the Gnat, you would know how ridiculous that was and how low his standards have become. I've realized that she is emotionally and developmentally about the same age as my DD. My DD will actually outgrow her in a couple of years.
I love Daddy Warbucks! I so think you should go with that. You could even call WW Orphan Annie.
