That was a big factor in me refusing to do one of those ‘at home divorce’ kits. It costs a lot more, but impacts my future. Thanks for the advice, hope everything worked out for you.

Thank you!

It took me far too long to realize that, and now I realize how much of myself that I lost and am getting back. Thank you.

Thank you, and I hope your friend’s daughter can get everything worked out.

He’ll probably be taken aback. Thank you!

I'm trying to be mindful of that, and focus on my clear goals. Thank you!

No problem! I don’t want to be vindictive, just to get what’s fair.

Could I make this up?

Thank you. This whole ordeal has taught me patience I didn't think was possible.

Thanks :) There are no kids, but I’m trying my best to be the person my dog thinks I am.

Thank you :)

Thank you, kind internet person. I needed that. :)

Thank you!

Thank you! Not sure- the laws here are labyrinthine.

Thank you!

Hey Jezzies, on Monday I have my first meeting with a divorce lawyer. This may get contentious and the cost is scaring me. But my ex is expecting me to roll over like I always used to, because he was ‘always right’, and I can't do that anymore. How I still hate that phrase. Anyways, any words of advice would be…

Not for me. I kick those off as soon as I get in.

Addendum to your sidenote- I just saw a costume exhibit that included her wedding dress from the movie- gorgeous in person!

Oh, Britney. She’s not that innocent.

Did you revenge-vomit everywhere? That’s my migraine superpower. ETA: I hope you’re recovered.
