Something I’ve been waiting 6 or 7 years to say! My lawyer just called me this morning to tell me that the judge signed the final papers on February 7th. It’s been a very, very, very long and rough road. I always thought my situation would have made a good Lifetime movie - but, even though my ex wasn’t violent, I saw me ending up dead in the end.
If I had more time and energy - something I’m seem to be lacking as of late, I’d tell the whole marriage-reconciliation-separation-divorce story. It involves drugs, prostitution, insurance fraud and even the Secret Service. Perhaps at a later date or post.

[…] 1. My divorce is final after only 6 years! Yea! free to marry Adam - just need his divorce to come through. 2. My father - whom I love to death - is diagnosed with aggressive bladder cancer 3. My lovely 16 year old son is picked up for possession of marijuana 4. Adam’s divorce is final!!!! 5. My father - who also has a serious heart condition that should have killed him 20 years ago - decides to have his bladder removed in lieu of chemo and radiation - a decision that I fully supported. 6. Adam and I decide to get married ASAP! It’s always been the goal - but, my father’s condition accelerated a traditionally stressful situation - making it that much more bountiful. 7. My father has the surgery; comes through with flying colors; only to find out it was too much strain on his heart and we spent several grueling nights anticipating a call from the hospital informing us of what we anticipated to be inevitable. 8. Praise be to God - my father is doing extremely well (all things considered) and it appears that he will make a full recovery - that is for a 70 year old man with a heart condition and a bladder created from an intestine. 9. Four weeks before the wedding - I get a call from my ex-mother-in-law notifying me of her son - my recent ex husband’s death. Again - knew he would show up one day - couldn’t foresee this. ***Note - I’m sure I’m getting on that jetliner that’s headed straight to hell for saying this - but, when it was all said and done - I was doing a happy dance. 10. In-laws that I hadn’t seen or heard from in YEARS start crawling out of the woodworks. A handful of these people I’m quite fond of - but, a few of them you can find in the dictionary under the entry for “evil”. 11. I whisk the two minor children and the Emperor off to an impromptu vacation on the Outer Banks to stay out of the path of evil - THREE WEEKS BEFORE THE WEDDING!. 12. We get married and go to Puerto Rico for the honeymoon - and from start to finish - it was amazing!!! and I actually didn’t do ANY work. This is the first time in countless years that I actually stopped; relaxed; and really took a vacation. […]
Congrats !!
It took me almost 4 years to get the courage up to end the abusive relationship I was in and get a divorce. Good luck !!
