Last night I opened a letter: it was from the Federal Magistrates Court of Australia informing that on the 21st Of April, my marriage to the Scrote is now officially terminated.
I had had a wonderfully full and joyful day of meeting friends, lunch, dinner and drinks, and dancing with old and new friends. At the dance studio (I hadn't been for a while as have been focusing on Tango at another school)
people all commented on how wonderful I looked; so beautiful and happy .
I don't know quite how to feel. I had been married for 24 years before Scrote decided that he had found his happiness and didn't want to be married to me. He also left the children; DS17 has not seen him for over a year.
According to that document I had been divorced for a full week before even knowing it...
I am happy with my life now; I really am. I look fantastic, have a whole heap of friends who really like me, I am changing my career to something that I am truly passionate about and life is pretty good.
How did others in the same situation feel? When I told DS17 last night, he took a close look at me and said do you want to crack open the champagne? I didn't have any drink in the house.
I feel numb. Not sad, not angry....it is a weird feeling. I don't even feel relief as that sense came a long time ago really.
I would appreciate some comments I guess.
