It happened officially on Friday, but I didn't find out until today.

I am free of the abusive bastarding bastard!

I can change my name back!

I am no longer anyone's wife!

Tonight it's wine and pizza and feeling free.

It's been a grueling time for me, these past few years, on top of Covid. This is a ray of sunshine for sure.

Just wanted to share! (want to scream it from the rooftops, really, but this will do!)

Congratulations 🥂 I was over the moon when mine came through, had wanted a party but covid. All the best for the future x

It's a glorious feeling.

Getting my surname back was the best feeling, when my driving license and bank card came through I was positively ecstatic.

Crack open a drink tonight and celebrate! WineGin

Congratulations! When mine came through I took cakes into the office (had to keep explaining the occasion wasn't my birthday though) 😂

SansaClegane · 25/01/2021 17:34

Congratulations!
Mine came through in July last year, after more than 3 years. Even though I'd been living my best life on my own Grin it was still such a great feeling to officially be FREE.
Enjoy your new independent life!

TeeBee · 25/01/2021 19:35

Congratulations!!! Must be such a good feeling. I remember when I used to feel a bit sorry for people getting divorced. Now I'm nearly there I cannot wait to experience the freedom you describe.
It's also for me just relief that years of arguments post-separation will finally be resolved.
Enjoy your cake and bubbles. You deserve it!

LookingUpIn21 · 27/01/2021 16:01

Ahhh thank you!

I have been mentally divorced for years now, feels like. Glad it's over and done with for good. I think I would have felt a bit sorry for myself 10 years ago, but time changes a person.

How does it feel now? Has it settled in more? Have you noticed any difference in relations with your ex?
I'm hoping it will get rid of some of the animosity and make coparenting easier.
We might even revert to ''friendly"ish terms.
Have either of you found that?

DinosaurDiana · 30/01/2021 14:29

Can I ask how long it took ?

Vickyglitz · 30/01/2021 16:03

I'm so jealous - congrats!! How long did it take?
