I didn't know what to expect. I didn't want to have any anticipations. I was surprised at the rage and dislike that radiated off of my ex in the courtroom. I felt threatened and overwhelmingly sad.
At each break, I sobbed and hyperventilated from the effort to remain passive and neutral in front of the judge - and my ex.
Mostly, his lack of compassion for those with memtal illness and the "snap out of it" attitude that suffused our marriage permeated my memories. I was retraumatised by the process.
So to have that vision of leaving ruins behind me was extremely comforting. To know that I actually have shed an adversary.
Few good memories.
