Divorce Papers

Divorce Papers

When you go through the worst in a marriage, sometimes there is nothing you can do but cut your loses and move on.

Happiness isn't something you experience- it's something you remember.”Oscar Levant

I have a friend who went through what can only be described as a nightmare. She was not abused, but that is one of the few positive things she can say about her marriage. She would not go back and do it differently because if she did she would not have her daughter. However, she has lived through the worst she could imagine, and now she is living her life without the loser she married. The one thing that is missing is the divorce papers.

It would be much simpler if she were not now a single mom of two. The man she wants to divorce has little to no money. Though he finally agrees to the divorce after a few years of trying to talk her out of it, he cant seem to come up with his half of the money to finalize the end of their relationship. Divorce papers dont seem to be something he cares about getting, and he is taking his time.

*The Teen Commandments*Don't let your parents down, they brought you up.Choose your companions with care, you become what they are.Be master of your habits, or they will master you.Treasure your time- don't spend it, invest it.Stand for something or you'll fall for anything.Select only a date that would make a good mate.See what you can do for others- not what they can do for you.Guard your thoughts, what you think is what you are.Don't fill up on this world's crumbs, feed your soul on living bread.Give your all for Christ- He gave His all for YOU!

She cant afford to pay for the divorce on her own, so she is going to have to wait for her divorce papers for a little while longer.

I swear its like a game to him. He knows she needs the divorce papers to move on with her life, but he seems to stall at every turn. He is buying things like guitars and amplifiers, but he has yet to put a dime towards the divorce. Its not even like it is a complicated divorce. They know how much it will cost, and he knows what he has to pay. Its not a lot of money, but for some reason he doesnt want her to have those divorce papers. Hes selfish. He wants her to himself, but he isnt willing to give her the same thing. Hes playing a game with her and she knows it.

I have half a mind to pay for the divorce myself just so she can get those divorce papers and move on with her life. The guy she is divorcing is someone I have known my entire life and he has disappointed me more than I ever thought possible. Through everything that happened, he refused to take responsibility for what he was doing, and found away to make it the fault of everyone else, including me. I cant stand the sight of him, and one of my fondest wishes is to see her standing with the divorce papers in her hand so that she can finally be free of him. It would be worth the price for sure.

Friends don't let friends take life too seriously.
