there's a leak In the boiler room

[the_siobhan]

Divorce decree arrived in the mail on Friday. I am officially disentangled as of January 5.

As I put it to a friend, "I appear to be experiencing an emotion. Or rather, three emotions in a trench-coat."

It's a relief to have it done with.

It's sad that it had to be done. It was good for longer than it was bad, and I will miss those parts.

It's a bigger sad that they don't seem to be particularly affected by it. I was important to somebody once and now I'm not.

Such is life. I had a drink about it on the weekend and now I will tuck that part of my life away in the past and move on.

I was important to somebody once and now I'm not.

This is a familiar emotion to me, and I have a sense of how hollow and sad it can feel.

I'm sorry it seems it was so easy for them to let it become part of the past.

This. Including hugs.

I have a loss for the appropriate words in a trenchcoat. Though sad is definitely one of them. You are in my thoughts!

Take care and feel your feels.

Congratulations on the process being nearly done. Condolences on the hard bits.

Congratulations on achieving your goal, I guess!

I know how this feels, I went through it almost four years ago, and I remember all of the feelings (or my approximations of feelings), and it's not great, but hopefully that puts an interrobang at the end of it.

On the plus side, no actual leak in your boiler room?

I'm very sorry for the sad. But good that you can get some closure at last.

You matter to more people than you know.
