Sorry I’ve been MIA, been manic with the kids and work. I am doing okay thanks but have had a few little wobbles as we sign the next part of the divorce in just over 2 weeks and it’s thrown me a bit, I won’t lie

Bound to. I was happy to be divorcing ex but that didnt mean that the official "this is it" moment didnt give me pause for thought.

Its relief that its over, sadness at the memories of the not so bad times, worry for the kids.....its all the emotions all at once. All you can do is let the feelings happen and they too shall pass.

Has Twatoo been behaving himself?

It's not surprising @mummy917 that you have been having some little wobbles. Still early days, and it wasn't all bad when you were together. Hope Twatoo has been behaving himself in looking after the kids and isn't still giving you the runaround about handover times?

You wouldn’t be human if you didn’t have some wobbles at this point. It’s a major milestone, but it will pass. There will be other moments that are less obvious but will also hit you unexpectedly. Try to give yourself time and space to ‘sit with it’, see friends or arrange something to do (whichever you feel will work best for you) whenever these moments happen.

Completely normal @mummy917 . Just feel what you feel. You'll soon be back to your usual self.
