I am DDDDDDDDIVORCED!!!! As of april 9, 2006 I am legally free and i am so happy! We had a great big giant chocolate fudge cake with happy D day written on it and after the kids were asleep me and a couple of close frineds indulged in that and a couple of glasses of wine. I waited two years and two months for this and it is a huge relief for me. Just though I would share!

Congratulations... I guess. It seems weird to be congratulating someone on their divroce, but I so can relate! When mine finally becomes final (it's been 4+ years of haggling), you bet your knickers I'll be celebrating!

Woohooo! Congratulations Lisa!

I know what you mean Moodygrneyes- I would never want to wish a divorce onto anyone, but it's still better than a lifetime of a horrid marriage, IMO!

So wine and chocolate all around, party style!

Lisa,

That is a relief - you did wait so long and I know that being in limbo on this matter is surely anything but easy. It is so stressful and I know you are happy to have it done.

But I do liken divorce to demolition - it is like blowing up an old ratty building that you detest. Now you have to deal with cleaning up and rebuilding your life. The days will lead you to happier times I am sure. Just take good care of yourself in the process.

It would be great to see you participate here more and to hear your opinions on our threads. You are always welcome and appreciated.

Congrat's! I remember when I was so relieved when mine was over. It was almost a 4 year battle and frustration. I felt so liberated afterwards!

Woot!! Lisa, YAY!!! Your happiness for things to be over only shows how ready you are to move in a better direction.

Toasting you!!
