What was the worst part of your divorce? Before, during, after and why? How did you initiate divorce?
I have two: 1) The worst part of my divorce was when my husband refused the lease the house until I paid him the settlement, and proceeded to openly date while living in the house. 2) When the shared custody started and I started to miss 50% of the time with my kids.
I initiated the divorce after a few months of efforts at reconciliation. I told him that I had met with an attorney and I wanted to divorce. After that, it went relatively quickly. I prepared all of the settlement arrangements, asset allocations, parenting plan, child support, etc. He didn't have an attorney so I had him review the information with his parents so he had a second opinion.
@Leahzan thank you for sharing. After recently coming to the conclusion that it’s been years and it’s enough, I am suddenly starting to feel so sad, although I know it is something I have to do for myself.
There was a time that never in a million years I would imagine us being divorced, but lately it seems like that is the way to not being sad most of the time because of being disrespected, or emotionally abused in some way.
Is this all normal? I’m sad but I don’t want to say anything, because I think I am dealing with the decision. Who knows - I’ll probably end up sticking around as financially we are already battling and having to pay to run 2 households is something that seems impossible.specially in my country where unemployment rates are through the roof.
Ai.another day.
Thank you for reading.
