All done...

Hey All,
Its been a long year, but now that its over...divorce was final on 7/18...I feel relieved. The ex has a new set of twins, sucks to be him, they were born on the 23rd...just 5 days after the divorce was final...at least he was divorced before she popped! I was told that I would be sad, that I would be upset, that I would have all of these feelings of sadness or remorse, yada, yada, yada...but honest to God, all I feel is relief. Sure, I hate like Hell that my ex cheated and his OW had twins, that kind of sucks, but that is now their problem, living in a single wide mobile home with 2 adults, a 4 yr old and brand new twins and, I think, a cat...I'm still in my half million dollar home (which has no mortgage) on a safe cul de sac in "the burbs". I have a new career, a new man in my life and I'm really feeling hopeful about the future. I thank all of you gals for your support, and although I'm done with the "D", I will probably, more than likely, be back to chew the fat about this or that. Thanks again ladies, take care of yourselves and know for a fact that there is light at the end on the tunnel.

I like your name, a lot!
I don't really have advice, per se. This is all relatively new. My DS, who is 5, will be 6 on 8/31 has not met the new additions, and I really don't think he's excited about them. OW has a kid (4) from a previous either marriage or relationship, don't know which it is, but my DS doesn't really like him. He tells me "That kid is annoying" which cracks me up coming out of my 5 year old's mouth. You didn't mention how old your child is, but I think (and this is only my opinion, mind you) that a girl may be more interested in a new baby than a boy, and it will definitely depend on how old the child is, ie. a 10 yr old girl will have tons more interest than my 5 yr old son...ya know?
My son doesn't really have an interest in the new babies and just wishes to me that he had a big brother to play with. Well, I can't really provide that, but maybe when the time comes that he meet my new guy, they can have a nice relationship.
Let me know if you need to talk. I'm leaving for 10 glorious days in south FL tomorrow, but will be back to check in.
Talk care and hugs to you!

That's fantastic!
Ya know... I think I felt all of those low down things before the divorce was actually finalized, so when it was all said and done... I was relieved, happy... and ready to take that big, deep breath and kick my heels!
No, it's not "perfecft every day".... but it's not bad, either.
Good for you!

Thanks for the compliment on the name-it expresses exactly how I feel!!!
My son is 7. He now has a new step sister that is 3 and soon to be born brother. He was excited about the whole sister thing, but I think I can say it might be wearing off. I don't know, his dad was such a crappy father when we were together and now he is Mr. "I can't see him enough" and "father of the year". I am sure he will get bored with the charade (sp?), I just hope it is not setting my DS up for major disappointment.
Have a wonderful trip-I am jealous!!!
