The divorce went through yesterday, I thought there might be a problem because the A filed a response from the jail requesting to be brought in for the hearing but since he got out of jail and didn't respond and proceeded to leave the state (watch out PA...) I was granted the divorce and full custody of my son. 

I expected a huge feeling of relief or something to wash over me but I never really got what I thought I would.  I'm glad it's done, I am relieved to have full custody.  Otherwise feels like same ol same ol...

Anyway, just wanted to share - I do feel like I have come to the end of a chapter in the book of my life.

It's interesting how some things we've been eagerly anticipating for a while become anti-climactic when they finally occur.

Perhaps it shows how worked up we let ourselves get over things - good or bad.

I'm glad your proceedings went through without any hitches. :)

Wow, CG! You have full custody!!! Go get your passports and take that well deserved vacation to the South of France!!!

 I had prepared myself for months to open the mailbox and get the papers. It didn't happen that way and when I finally did get them, I didn't feel anything. I was expecting to feel sad or devastated or relieved or joyous. I felt like it was just another day. I didn't celebrate or mourn. I had done both for months before the actual black and white version of the end of my marriage came.

PA? He's in PA? That's a bit too close for my liking!!!

I'm happy for you that was a tremendous amount of work for you. I am glad that you can relax and not have to worry about his phone calls anymore.  That's a tremendous achievement and required much diligence.

Maresie.

Carolinagirl,

So that is what that big parade and celebration we had in town were all about!

Although it was a necessary and eagerly anticipated step in your life, I imagine it still must hurt and cause somewhat of a conflict of your emotions as well.

It's not just a new chapter, but a new book!
