This afternoon is the final hearing for the dissolution (or disillusion as some of my friends who have been through the process call is; they're cards, I tell you). STBX and I will travel there together--yeah, it's like that for us. Lawyer yesterday said it shouldn't take more than 30 minutes, if that. I am certain this is what I want, but it is astounding to me how totally sad I am. We had a great relationship for 17 years (together for 20). The past 18 months have been horrible but also amazing. Every decision I have made since deciding to leave has been supported by friends, work, and out-of-the-blue turns of events at which I would roll my eyes if that shit happened in a Hallmark movie. Anyway, I'd like as many good vibes as possible today. Just because it's right doesn't mean it's not going to suck.

I am so jealous! I still have 2 months. I will have been M for just over 18 years when it is final and I am sure I will be sad over the loss of what could have been but I will surely not mourn what it actually was. I have a bottle of champagne chilling waiting for April 21st.
I wish you much strength and that there is no drama in the courtroom today. Sending good vibes and I hope it does not suck too bad.

Of course you're sad. That's okay and normal. I hope and expect you will find some peace after it's final. Some Hallmark level peace!

XWH (whoa, that feels GOOOOOD to type) freaked right the fuck out when I told him that next week I am moving and renting out the, wait, no...MY house. I'll be heading out of state to help care for my elderly mother for the next few years.
