Signed the divorce agreement at the attorneys this morning. Should be over soon. Believe it or not, while it ruined my night last night (no sleep at all), I felt a huge sense of relief today and even found myself feeling free.

Now I have to come up with a new name, I just don't feel so far away anymore.

Ian, that is a huge thing. Sorry you didn't get the sleep, but I hope that you have restful nights from now on - you are a good man, and lots of great things lie ahead for you and the kids!

"SoFarSoGood"??

Glad to hear from you, the circumstances stink (I know it was time but I never think 'yay!' when someone gets divorced)...but still glad to hear you around here.

How is Tawny?

Hey gang. Tawny is doing good. Home school is going well. She only took 2 weeks off for summer so she could get a bit ahead in her 10th grade classes.

This week marked a year since her and Carrie have spent any time together. Sad as it is, I have stepped myself out of it and am only an observer and supporter for my daughter.

Carrie doesn't really say anything about it to me. Never even really asks me how Tawny is doing much either. Hasn't asked about her therapy in months. Hasn't asked about her school at all. It's pretty strange really, I will never understand it.

Anyway, school is going well for me. I am 2 weeks from wrapping up my second set of classes. I am glad that I made the decision to go back, it will be worth it in the end. Work finally made my position permanent so the benefits kick in now and I have a bit more security which is good.

I am applying for a weekend bartenders job at a new restaurant down the street to try and make a little extra to help out around here and make ends meet. I figure to have to do something for a couple of months until Carrie is ordered to pay what she should be paying in child support instead of the crap that she currently pays which was based on me making a ton more money.

On the woman front, no news. Not dating, not anything....for now........soon..........

I suppose the name freeatlast wouldn't send the right message to the newbies now would it?????

Congrats Ian. It is both profoundly sad and incredibly relieving at the same time isn't it? Best of life to you and your children!
