This is great news AD, sending you a big FIST BUMP!!!!

I am so happy for you and your children that you will have some peace from this bit of crazy. (not to say that her crazy is completely over, unfortunately )

I've got my fingers crossed for the closing, hope it all goes well for you.

Fantastic AD. I'm soooo glad it's over for you.

One last piece of advice: I'd have your lawyer send a letter before the house closing stating that she has until April 22 (give yourself a day or two before the closing) to collect any possessions still at your house. Once you move and the closing is done, any property left by her, stated in the MSA, will become yours to do with as you see fit. ie. you are NOT moving the TV and the chair to your new house for her to claim again a month later....if she wants this stuff, she gets it before you move.

I just sent my X an email regarding a date he had to remove his stuff, but with your X? Yeah, you need it in legal terms.

I'm glad you slept so well last night, and I hope you are going to do something to relax and celebrate in the next few days.

Standing up and clapping for you! I am so pleased that this stage is over for you! And I second legally and formally giving her a limit to send someone over to collect her belongings.

Imagine a ship trying to set sail while towing an anchor. Cutting free is not a gift to the anchor. You must release that burden, not because the anchor is worthy, but because the ship is.

Great news, AD! I'm sure the crazy won't end for a while, but at least you have that hurdle over. Now a big sigh of relief and enjoy your new home and time with your kiddos. Congrats - you've come a long way!

All my congratulations have and will be said face-to-face.

So pleased for you, buddy

You can't fix crazy. All you can do is document it

I've been reading everyone's accolades and smiling. I was talking to someone yesterday and told her that I survived this with the help of my therapist, my attorney, my brother--and an online support group, not one of whom I have ever met face-to-face. She was incredulous--not the least of which because she knows my skepticism when it comes to "group anything."

Yes, I know "I" did it, but really--I absolutely can see myself still wandering the hell of Limbo for at least a while longer if it hadn't been for SI. And I say this for anyone who has followed my thread as a lurker and for any newbies: listen to the people here. And don't be me.

Yes, I have--incredibly, to me--survived infidelity. Can I go now? ;-)

Mod, close this damn thread--I'm off to " New Beginnings."

Mod, close this damn thread--I'm off to " New Beginnings."

Please and thank you are a couple things that would have been nice of you to add to your demand.

My tolerance for stupid shit is getting less and less.
