OMG my divorce is almost done-- ask me anything.... [View All]

It's been a hellish 6 months and 17 days but the ex finished moving her stuff out today. The house is pretty much stripped, but in the end I'll be alright. The settlement was fair, despite all the ugliness and threatening, and she left my kitchen mostly intact-- even returned some items today that she evidently decided not to keep-- and left me the cats, one of whom is having a love fest in my lap right now. I am truly blessed.

One of the multiple lawtrons will file the paperwork "any day now." Everything is signed and annointed with the blood of innocents. I'm bankrupt, and it turns out that the "protective bankruptcy" was probably not necessary, but hey, now at least I don't have to worry about credit debt any longer, and I can certainly live within my means.

She'll come by on Monday (she still has my car), I'll drive her to the airport, and that chapter of my life will (hopefully) end. I'm just beginning to feel like I can stop looking over my shoulder for the next looming disaster. Experience suggests that's probably premature, but the end is very near.
