Collette and Blink - I'm so sorry to hear about your troubles. It seems to be going around as we hear this in several couples in our circle of friends. Collette - congrats on finding a good lawyer and kudos for the pre-nup. Hoping things run smothly ahead. {{{Hugs}}}
Wow. Sorry to have barely read about this too! I wish you all the best in the future. I think it's so awesome that you were able to decide on taking care of yourself first! kudos! Keep your head up. I know it might get tuff here and there, but in the long run you will be better.
I am so glad to hear that you have representation that you are comfortable with. That will serve you well as you make your way through what will no doubt be a very difficult time.
Make sure that you are focusing on both very important aspects of what will happen. One side is the practical, and financial side of things. If you focus too much on this, you will not be giving enough time and energy (that is very necessary) to the emotional and mental side of this event. On the other side of it, if you focus too much on the emotion and feelings that you are having, you will potentially lose out on the practical and financial aspects. It is a balance that is easy to talk about, but tough to put into action. Just try to keep both sides in mind when you feel out of balance, and it may help bring you back to center. And use your counsel to take on the parts that make you uncomfortable. That is their job. I will be sending you some positive energy to help.
I'm so sorry you are going through this. I haven't been on much lately so I missed your first post. :( Sending you wishes for comfort and strength. I know you will pull out of this with dignity and grace.
I missed the original post too. I'm so sorry, Collette! I'm glad you found a lawyer you feel comfortable with. That's important. FWIW, I think crying over old Buffy eps is totally okay.
I'm so sorry and I just wanted to add my support. Try to be super gentle and kind to yourself during this tough time and just know that things really will get better. ((Hugs))
