We were exhausted when we got home. Dad was waiting for me. He had had trouble sleeping and had worried about our court appearance all day long. The relief caregiver had been with him because Carmi had gone to court. It was one of the highlights of my day to be able to tell him we don't have to worry about being removed from the house or having Bill in our lives anymore. He face looked so relaxed and reassured. I told him that his safety had been a big consideration in the judge's decision.
Did we celebrate with a big dinner? I just can't remember. We felt vindicated but not elated. Nobody wins in a divorce.
There wasn't enough stress-relief in our evening. The next day we would have to find something to do to de-stress from our big day in court.
