Re: I finally did it!

It will be the hardest thing you ever do. Don’t be scared. Mediated divorces are great but you do need your own lawyer too.
You will be happier. Please don’t go back. I realized after eight months separated, what I should have done was leave then. I didn’t and am paying for it now. It just gave my soon to be ex more time to plan his way to get full temporary custody.
So, hang on. Read anything you can about mediated divorces. And try and talk to as many divorced people as you can. I felt so isolated like this wasn’t for me, but it was. My ex kept telling me I was the one not making it work. You need your own space to gather yourself back up.

Hang in there. I hate to say it, it’s only the beginning. Be determined to get it done and it will. YOU WILL BE happier. In a better mental state than you ever were. Take care.
