Happily Divorced!

This is the face of an officially divorced woman. I’m so happy it’s finally over.

Fifteen years of marriage. Ten of those years with no contact. I used to tell people I was already divorced just so I wouldn’t have to think about the paperwork. Facing the truth was harder than I wanted to admit.

I did this whole thing myself. No lawyer. My ex disappeared, and nobody could find him — not even private investigators. I couldn’t serve him in person, so I had to serve him by publication. It was slow, messy, and exhausting. And I still finished it.

For once, I’m extremely proud of myself. Nothing can touch me right now. Things are looking up, and I’m ready for a future that isn’t dragging a dead marriage behind it.

Thank you to everyone who kept me going these last few years. You mean the world to me. I love you.
