So emotional about papers being filed today...finally
I just left my atty's office and signed the complaint, the settlement agreement and a few other things. He said he was getting it filed today and since it's not contested, we should have a court date within 30 days. After he said that - it really hit home and I walked out of there crying like a complete idiot. I am both happy and so tremendously sad. I know it's for the best, because my only other option would be to stay in a miserable marriage with a lying, cheating, narcissist... but it's still so sad that after 14 yrs together...planning a future, buying and fixing up a home, having a child .. and then BAM I signed a few pieces of papers today that will officially make it all come to an end. Getting to this point is definitely great.. but also so emotional! I can't wait to have that feeling of *relief* that another poster just said in a previous post... I just don't feel that yet. Please tell me it gets better..

It does get better, and then worse, then better, then....well you get the picture. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, even when it's the best thing for everyone involved. Take care of yourself during all of this!
Audg, I want to hug you! Signing the papers definitely makes it more real. It does get better but as Doris said, it will be a rollercoaster. I'm glad you are feeling confident that it's the best thing for you even though it's very sad.
((hugs))
Hang in there!
I cried the entire afternoon and next morning after filing. I can agree with everyone, it has been an emotional rollercoaster and I am just starting.
