So I've been languishing in this separation for almost 2 years now.

She left and filed and wouldn't reconcile. We were married for 18 years.

Child support was awarded as well as alimony in the amount of $700 a month for 9 years.

They were asking for $1200. So I understand they didn't get what they asked for but it still seems ridiculous to me.

Are these typical results?

How do you learn to live with it? I mean, it's a court order so I have to pretty much and I don't have enough money to do any kind of appeal nor do I think it would make anything change

Honestly, without her here my life is 10 times better maybe more. I'm trying to view it as the price I have to pay to have this new awesome life..... and if that's the case it's totally worth it.

Spiritually, mentally, physically. Everything is amazing away from that toxic woman.
