Well the job is still going well. The Apt. Hunt continues since the one I wanted got rented to the landlords friend. Guess God has something else in store. I've been able to detach from my wife and the divorce is still proceeding. We've talked about parenting plan, the house, property, health insurance and ect. We are in agreement. So per her request I'm gonna put it all on paper for her to see so we can have this all hashed out before first mediation. I'm not bitching I'm not complaining I'm not resentful. I really don't know how I am, serene I guess in balance I will call it. Keeping the focus on me and that's that. ODAT!

Sounds like you're coming to terms with it ... We call that 'acceptance' ... oh boy, have I had to learn that the hard way too ... glad you'still aboard here ...

I never was that great at accepting a lot of things....took some pain and a few knocks..Hard headed and stubborn as hell...

Went through a few divorces....and fought tooth and nail...hung over every morning

Was divorced in sobriety and didn't fight it....Gave her the house and most of the stuff in it..and walked away..It was easier...:)

The plus side?

The 3 kids 9-12 and 13came with me....and none of us have looked back..

Onward!!

That wasn't easy...

Those kids took care of ME some days...and it was a real rough GO for a while...

If it hadn't been for neighbours..freinds..and AA people?...We never would have made it...

As time goes by? Im sure the situation that youre in Now?

Will get better in that aspect...

E...this helps me fondly remember when I was in the "fearful state" and my sponsor leading me to Dr. Paul's dissertation on "Acceptance" on page 449 of the 3rd Edition of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.  In later editions it might be a few pages further on.  It's worth the chase.   Good growth. smile
