Each thing done is such a relief

A.J., I am so glad that you took this step. My ex was responsible for my car in the divorce, as I wanted to get my own that was not connected to him. So, I got a wonderful brand new Red Mini Cooper!

The last thing on my list is to refinance the house in my name. It should be done by Thanksgiving, so I am looking forward to starting the holiday season with my family, with no financial or material ties left with my ex.

Each of those ties we remove allows us to continue releasing the deeper ties to the other person. I wish you the best in continuing yours!

It feels as though I closed yet another door in my former married life as I sold my car.

Living in Manhattan, I don't need a car, but I've been hanging onto it just in case. Earlier this year, I finally paid it off, so owning a car free and clear was not something I wanted to give up too quickly. However, I felt as though the time had come.

It was a little sad selling it, because while John and I purchased it together, it was in my name from day one. It served as our primary car, and carried us on many road trips through the beautiful New England landscape. It was a good car that never gave us any mechanical issues.

In the divorce settlement, it was agreed that I would keep the car in my name, and it would be my car. John would keep another vehicle that we bought from a friend a few years back.

The other day, I drove to a used car lot and left in a cab with only the license plates. Another door closed.
