Yesterday, on June 27, I was divorced. Sometime in the afternoon a thoughtful Circuit Court judge granted me relief from ties that bound too long. That same judge, earlier in the day, resolved a small but important issue in favor of my children, as I had wished.
It has been almost two years since X announced his departure – eons ago – and I am well into a new life. I have dreaded many days, seen the demonic, been saved over and over by friends, and find myself now on dry land, moving forward under my own power – always with a little help from my friends.
Someone commented this afternoon the legality of divorce seemed anti-climactic. But the news instantly opened in me empty miles of stretching sage-brush lined road, as is found in the west.
I never knew X – he never knew me – and the masque is now miles behind in the rear view.
I am free.
Shouldn't...but Do 
Congratulations beautiful lady!
I cried as I finished your post. I am so relieved for you, because now you are (finally) free to go on your own path. Not the confused and sad path. But the poetic and happy path.
Do you know the movie Bagdad Cafe. I think there is a message for you in there.
Love you,
Danish Friend
I’m so relieved! I also got teary as I read this–may you find the next phase of your journey to be restful and joyous.
Much love–
