I got myself a job, too, which starts on 6/13. I will be working as an Investigator with the Federal government....the pay starts out ok (much better than my last job) and will rise significantly in the next 3 years.
My h is still at home; I still have my lawyer on retainer...but I haven't told to file the paperwork yet. I don't know what is making me hesitate at this point because I know the marriage is done. I've even told my h so much as this....and he's taking it in stride. He's not happy, but he's not saying much of anything. He continues to go to his therapy, but really, I don't give a flying hoot what he does anymore. Basically, he has his life...and he has stopped interfering with mine---that, and I've stopped handing over my power to him. He can't take anything I don't give to him...and guess what? he aint getting.
That being said and done.....I still have to get that push to tell the lawyer to "proceed".
sigh....but on the bright side....I have my Masters and a JOB! baby steps, baby steps

Sounds like everything is starting to go your way, at least in the other part of your life. You have a lot of things to get done the next month, so at least that will keep you busy. I am so glad h finally quit crying for a while. Still be careful because once you start doing things to make you happy that's when he will probably start demanding more attention!
