Divorce Day

[Guest angie]

Hey sisters,

Yesterday was my divorce.Twenty nine years of my life,had finally come to an end.

As usual,when something of this magnitude is about to happen,I could not sleep.

So by four AM,I was bathed lotioned and powered.I had chose my prettiest dress and

my favorite high heeled sandals.Was the first through the door of the courthouse at

seven fifteen.The female sherriff running the metal detector,didn't even hesitate with

me.She treated me like any other woman.The women's facilities were awesome.

I had never seen that many stalls in one restroom.I was like whoa.

When my lawyer got there,he didn't act shocked at my appearance like he had before.

I was instructed on how to answer a series of questions,and how to introduce myself

when asked.That was using my real name,not(his).When seated in the plaintiff area,

a woman came and sat next to me.She started talking to me like one gg to the next.

Two more ladies joined in.I was asked if my husband was there,how many kids I have,

how long married...I talked to them softly,answering as truthfully as I could,letting them

assume what they wanted to.Inside,I was reveling at being included in as another one of

the girls.For except for lawyers and the baliff,everyone else in that courtroom was female.

Even the judge.(oh yeah)

My lawyer called me forward to come up to the bench.My judge greeted me with an,"Good

morning m'am"(grin)I stated my full female name when asked,not even thinking about (his).

It came up to the last question asked,"Is your wife pregnant at this time?" I smiled and told

her,"That would be impossible your honor." Not qualifying my statement,just smiling when I

said it.She smiled real big,then burst out laughing."I can see how that would be a problem m'am."

LOL

Called my now ex to tell her it was a done deal.She was very sweet.Even blowing me a kiss

when we hung up.Now that was the way to end our very long history.We had overcome all the

bitterness and anger,arriving at acceptance and an understanding,ending it with love and not anger.

I consider myself to be one very lucky lady to have had her all those long years.And to have her

want to still be in my life.

Hugs to all,

Angelique-Angie

Angie,

As much as it is hard to see all those years come to an end, it is great to see that it ended the way it did.

To be able to do so in a calm and loving manner is so incredible.

My best to you and your future!

Angie, Honey...........

When I read this I sat for a long time and digested what all you said.

To end ...finalize...finish...

To give your new life a fighting chance...you go girl!

A resolution to a tangled mess....I'm so happy the way things worked out for the two of you and that there is no animosity...that's the best way...the only way to be happy....not to carry that burden in your heart ....

Happy Birthday, Angie...

Welcome to the rest of your life...
