I finally finished cleaning out the old house and I'm done with it.

First, a belated "welcome!" to your threat below.

Second, it's normal to have material things that represent your marriage set you off...the dress, a photo, trip mementos, etc. I ended up burning my wedding dress! It was a very cheap thing, I never had it preserved and it had stains. Trust me, it was such a mess, no one would even want it for free, otherwise, I would have donated it. So up in smoke it went. And for me, it felt great.

Lastly, never forget that you are one strong woman. I have one child, and it was very difficult getting a divorce and standing on my own. You're amazing to be able to do that with four young kids!
