My value increased

Found back my IDGAF masculinity

I raised my credit rating by 200 points.

My relationship with my kids has never been better. I demanded 50/50 and live in a no fault state. She tried fishing for using them as leverage in the beginning but eventually buckled (I had to promise max child support). The time I get with them is really some of the best times in my life.

I was so spun out by my divorce I questioned everything in my life, including my own thoughts and attitudes about the world. Led me down a path of self discovery, spiritual and psychological learning that has completely transformed my mentality for the better.

Had we stayed together, I'd still be psychologically blind to all I've learned since then.

My finances are stable, I get to do things I never would have done, I have bonded with my kids in ways I never would have, I rekindled my faith in Christ, and I will one day get to be with someone who will love me for real.

For me we share 50\50 custody. My son is now 5 years old and will be starting school soon. The silver lining is that despite being with an absolute evil vile creature for so many years......we do co parent well together. We share the same morals and beliefs as it pertains to our son. We're flexible with our parenting schedule to accommodate one another for work or vacations etc.

I am well aware of the horror stories and one parent using the children as pawns and so forth so I'm happy that I have this in place. I'm not sure how some of you all deal with the bs and games with children.

My divorce was largely centered on my desire to reproduce.

My daughter, my GF, my family is worth all the years I had to spend, unhappy, with that bipolar squat legged Greek B.

Yep, I’m now able to be the dad I want to be, and she doesn’t get any input whatsoever in my life anymore.

Being a dad is the absolute best thing to ever happen to me and I can’t wait to see my son everyday.

wanted kids, ex didn't. Mines pretty straightforward lol. If you are searching for one, you will find it.

I bought my dream house a few months before we married. Never put her on the title or mortgage. The house doubled in value after she filed (Covid madness) in a very hot market. She thought she was walking away after a less than two year marriage with half my equity. Judge gave her one half of principal only payments for 18 months, then I played with those numbers and her lazy lawyer never did the math. She divorced me thinking she’d hit the lottery for a half million but ended up with a few grand. Silver lining? I am living in it.
