    Grace

    Hi Grace,

    May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand.
    May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism.
    Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone.
    May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace.
    May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them.
    Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.

    Teach love to those who hate, and let that love embrace you as you go out into the world.
    May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them.
    Remember, those whose lives you have touched and whose have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished.
    It is the content of the encounter that is more important than the form.

    May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart.
    Find time each day to see beauty and love in the world around you.
    Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is different in our own way.
    What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future.
    May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.
    Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.
    May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and not be dependent on another's judgment of your accomplishments.
    May you always feel loved.

    Thank you for being a friend.

    I really happy for you...........congradulations Grace.

      Chopper,

      Thank you so much for that post. It made me cry. Tears of happiness & kindness. And a few tears of relief that my nightmare is over. You truly have a gift with words.

      I have come through this in one piece, when often times I just wanted to give up and walk away. And I have meet some incredible people along the way too. Including my friends at Ottawa Divorce.

      Chopper, I sincerely hope that you too will find peace and strength.

          Thanks LV, and I managed at court without you

          I understand that the lawyer that represented me is receiving this years award for excellence in family law, from the Law Society. So no doubt that I received a fair settlement under the law.

          But I believe I have received the best emotional support from my friends at Ottawa Divorce.

            Grace,

            perhaps your ex motive and strategy was to wear you down. I suspect you showed him a great deal and remained strong. wow 4 years is a long time.

              I too am into my 4th year of trying to settle things. My lawyer wants to go to court. We have an offer to settle on the table but the ex has an issue with part of it, as I have mentioned in prior notes. I thought I would try one more reality check with the ex. I said this was his last chance to settle for this amount then if not all bets are off the table. It won't be those amounts we will be talking about. His answer was "oh really". He came back about 1/2 hour later and now wants a settlement meeting! Now the trick is to get a date suitable for both lawyers. Keep your fingers crossed. I'm afraid to get my hopes up. One step forward has been two backwards for so long!!!

                Yes I think my ex was just dragging it out to wear me down. Anther tactic was to leave me in the house, freeze all the assets and force me to take a lessor settlement as I couldn't afford to maintain the home on my own.

                Amber,

                Hang in there, I think we are in similar circumstances with a Family Business involved. This can make things more complicated. I'm all for mediation, but keep the court date also, in case you can't work it out.

                  Grace, I'm so glad you've finally reached the end of the battle! How does it feel to have your life back? I'm sure you haven't seen the end of the problems with him, but at least the worst of it is resolved. And I'm so glad you got the computer! I hope you'll stick around to keep giving us your support and input!

                    Sasha1, it feels like I finally have my life back. What a relief. I hope this will happen for you as well as all the member. My order gets "reviewed" in two years and my goal is to now invest in myself & my business and be in a position to support the kids 100% financially, and never see another day in court.
