Progress You are Making and Hope
My divorce was finalized this morning. I still like my former husband. But I have no regrets about no longer being married to him. I'll always be an anxious person but now I won't have the concealed dangers resulting from his and his family's dishonesty and denial weighing me down.

Congratulations......I am sure there is relief tinged with ...?......I have followed your posts and find SO many similarities. 

I wish you well.. as I do your ex......he is quite like my H......who just doesn't SEE how the ADD affects them and their relationships. 

Let us know how things go forward for you!!! :-)

Thank you.  Relief tinged with sadness and resentment; sadness, because I wouldn't be so happy to be done with the marriage if it had been a decent marriage; resentment, because my ex-h made the divorce more difficult than necessary, and I felt much anxiety as a result.  He insinuated that I was not being fair with the property division proposal, and I sweetened the deal in his favor.  And he told me an hour after the divorce hearing ended about assets he had not disclosed.  Sigh.

you can move beautifully forward from the "mayhem" of your marriage to a fulfilling life guided by the discoveries of a more empowered/knowledgeable YOU.!! Though the years ahead may not be as many as those given to marriage........just ONE year of AWESOME beats it ALL.!
