Real World Mom

I’ve always liked the idea of the family tradition. With the Holidays fast approaching, it’s been on mind more. I’d love to hear about yours!

Since my first child was born, each year I would either purchase or make an ornament for them for the Christmas tree. The original idea was to give each child their set of ornaments when they moved out. Now I’m not so sure I could part with all those memories!

It’s been six months now since I filed for divorce & I’m still waiting for it to be over with. My soon-to-be (I say optimistically) ex-husband has been less than cooperative & my resources have dried up. As much as I want the marriage to be officially ended, without an attorney, I know I will walk away with far less than I’m entitled to after being married for over 20 years.

It’s obviously come to the point where I need to decide which is more important:

-being divorced & settling for whatever a judge decides I deserve -or-

-continue delaying the process until I can afford to hire an attorney to represent me & hope that it is

worth it in the end.

The saga continues…
