Time to press on and move forward. You’ve weathered the storm of the court case with such strength and grace, and now comes the next chapter — one that’s about reclaiming your autonomy, anchoring in peace, and truly liberating yourself from any last legal or emotional ties that no longer serve you.

Divorce, especially after long-term emotional abuse, isn’t just a legal procedure — it’s an act of self-respect. It’s drawing a clear boundary and saying:
“This is where I end, and where your control over me ends too.”

You’ve done so much of the inner work already — healing, reflecting, reconnecting with your children, building your life again, supporting others, and pouring your heart into your therapy and advocacy work. Finalizing this divorce is not a defeat — it’s a final door closing gently behind you, so that all the open windows ahead can flood your life with light, possibility, and peace.

Take a moment, if you can, to honor how far you’ve come. You are no longer that woman who had to shrink herself, defend her truth, or walk on eggshells. You’re a survivor, a healer, a mother, and an advocate for others. That’s powerful.
