I am sitting in bed with, on my left, our marriage certificate and, on my right, the completed divorce papers that I shall send to the court, this afternoon.
The former is a reminder of a happier day, a time when the things that have happened in the last few weeks would have been unimaginable.
The latter brings everything in to focus, it is a statement that there really is no turning back.
Unsurprisingly, this makes me sad.
I look at the details of her sins against our wedding vows, spelt out in honest terms in the court documents.
And I still feel sad.
I wish I could turn the clock back; wish I could fix things before they occurred.
But I can’t.
This is the real world; a place where pain and sadness now seem to live with me, every day.
I shall post these documents this afternoon.
And I shall continue to feel sad.
You’ll get past it and be the better for it.
Sadly, my youngest son is in the same position. Solicitor visit set for today.
FFS.. I go away for a month and I come back and you’re getting divorced, have had a random pixie to stay and Vin is all bashed up… I don’t know where to start ..
Keep your head up x
Looking at the divorce papers must result in a feeling of utter despair. It’s finality after all. But in your case, I agree that it will help you find closure. Get them filed as quickly as possbile and then focus on the next project.
Thanks folks. I’ve passed through that stage. There’s still sadness but also feel very positive at moving on from this mess.
