For those who have been following this saga I can honestly say that this is the final post on the subject. In two and a half hours this morning my children's future was safeguarded, albeit not quite how I would have wished in an ideal world.

I have been married to a wonderful women for 20.5 years. She and I have always had a very deep connection. Today we finally really talked about divorce.
She has grown so much in the last few yaers, she is ready for her new life now, I will always be there for her when or if she needs it.
We will divorce when our 20 year old son is stabe in his life and our financial selves are seperated.

I must say that looking at my new future it seems frightning yet freeing. I can live as I wish yet who will that be?

More has happened in the last few days than the past six months, and it still gets worse. This time my daughter is involved.

My divorce has not been an easy ride, but dealing with sub-teenage children is the most depressing part.

My maternal grandmother and I had a very close relationship from the moment I was born. My father was beside himself with joy at finally having a son to pass on his name . Mother was just happy that 9 months of being fat and bloated were over. She figured that Dad would finally shut up and quit pestering her about having another child. My sister Angie was two years older and he pretty much ignored her. Grandmother told everyone that I would grow up to be a very special child. Dad came off with some snide remark to the effect of "Just as long as he isn't a sissy".

Today was another day in a long saga about my divorce.

She served papers on me in Feb 2008 and we finally got to court in October 2008 (when the decree nisi was granted) and then the arguing began.
