Month 3 Update on my Divorce
So as of today he is off title to the house and I am the owner. I'm actually going out tonight to celebrate.
He is buying a condo and will be moving out but his closing isn't until December. After today, he will be paying me rent each month until he moves out which probably won't be until January because he's going to Mexico for 3 weeks in December to see his family.
We've been separated since Aug 9 living separate and apart but in the same home. Leading separate lives. It's really given me so much time to reflect on the past 29.5 years of being married to him. It's sad but really only 10% of that time was happy times. The rest were miserable and sometimes even violent. I've never admitted here before, I don't think, but he was extremely violent with me for the first several years and then after that he would fly off the handle and yell or ignore me for weeks at a time.
it was never good. i stayed for the kids because he was a good provider and because I had no support. I always promised myself that when my youngest was finished school, I'd get out. And now it's happening. it's finally happening. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to realise that it's real! It's really happening.
I'm off to NY in two weeks to see my Long Island bestie for a few days and in Jan or Feb I'm going to Texas to see my highschool bff.
The best years of my life are just beginning. I'm going to make the best of my future.
