My divorce will be final some time in the autumn. I'm sure it will be a difficult day, and expect I will mourn the loss with some tears. But I also will view it as a fresh start toward a happier life. Keep on climbing upward, Proud.
It's a bittersweet day, for certain. But it's another part of the mountain that you've been climbing. You'll still reach the top, then you'll look down on all of this and realize how great you feel with it all behind you.
Don't feel bad about the tears -- you're right, they're authentic. It would be abnormal to get through it with no tears. Take it easy on yourself, Proud, you're doing great! ((hugs))
I'm hoping when my time comes, I won't bawl, but, I doubt it. Watching Master Chef last night did it to me. So, it doesn't take much.
Awww mannn....
I watch that show too, and its soooo manipulative. Notice how whenever they show Christina, they play the sad piano music in the background?

Yep. Completely manipulative. And that's the point where they got me.
Of course, AT&T long distance commercials used to do it to, so I'm an easy mark.
I am not sure if this is appropriate, but...congratulations?!?! I think there is a common brother hood among divorced people. So, it's not like I am glad that you had a marriage that ended, but at least you are able to share the journey with others who've had to walk that path as well.
