The process is a grueling stretch even under the 'easiest' circumstances. With the added dimension of children, houses, retirement, etc. it becomes a nightmare.
Our past can be the same. There may come a point where you have to STOP living in it and let it go.
I know it's what we have to draw on - our experiences. Our memories. But I've spent the better part of my life running, fighting, enduring what that past made me. It's not always healthy.
So I am going to lay out the paperwork. Set the terms. Knowing that there will always be some lingering memories and thoughts. Maybe even a good one or two. But there needs to be a final decree.
Divorce it.
Draw solid boundary lines.
Let it be.
And find out what this life is with a fresh start, a new love, and some healing of my own...
