Have not posted in some time, but I just need to post this. My divorce was final 48 hours ago. So happy to have that weight removed from my soul! To anyone going through a divorce - keep your head up, be patient. It will happen.
Thanks all!

Do you feel closure? I'm hoping it does for me from the way that she left in such an abrupt and chaotic way and didn't give me closure.

My divorce gave me closure and a true sense of not being responsible for BPD/Nxh any longer. We still have dealings due to the kids, but I'd already mourned my marriage and the husband I thought I'd lost (who didn't exist), so divorce was a gift just for me. It's still a date I celebrate in my heart each year, more so than my wedding anniversary which doesn't feel like much at all anymore.
Congratulations!

Glad to hear you feel free of that weight. In theory, mine will be final in just 2 more days, you'd think I'd be looking forward to it, but I think it may take awhile for it to sink in. I guess I still feel a sense of unreality about it all.

I am separated and in the divorce process. My lawyer just told me that I shouldn't feel "responsible" for my wife. That we both are adults. Each one responsible for oneself.

Amen to that! It takes time to get to that point especially after years of trying to rescue or fix the other person.
