Waiting out my divorce to be final, I felt more glorious by the day.
The past few months I’ve felt like a bird that was tethered to an anchor by one thread. That thread is cut as of 11:59pm last night.
I created this ID name at the start of all this when I was in such pain and didn’t want to be free. I wanted him back. I wanted him to change his mind.
But even then I knew he was garbage and has never been faithful. And that I would have stayed and wasted my life, so by his cheating and deciding to leave, he left me no choice—I was free to go even if I didn’t want to.
But now? What a glorious day. How free I am.

Congratulations!
I remember the horrific pain & just wanting my life to go back to what it was pre-A. Then, I had time to stop & think about what that really meant. I realized that my XWH was treating me like garbage & had just given me the golden ticket outta living with a covert narc.
Next week is the 1 year anniversary of the D being final. My home is now a place of peace & comfort.
Life on the other side is so much better.

Congratulations. I am so happy for you to finally be free. 
P.s. If you are willing to share, I am very curious about how you managed to break your codependancy.
