Divorce Papers (and papers and papers and papers)!

Six months after being served the divorce papers (Thank goodness they were served to my lawyer, I feel for anyone who receives them in person!) I finally met with my attorney and forensic accountant. (I didn't even know that was a job before all of this.) The first court date is still a couple of months away, and now I have been told that the current best estimate for all of this to be over is three years!

I have spent most of this time itemizing my married life. Gifts, clothing, furniture and even travel photos. Check stubs and credit card statements, receipt by receipt. Isn't it sad how once happy memories now become nothing more than a financial record? A new yardstick to measure the majority of my life and my worth as a wife. So much paper, 
if laid end to end it would wrap around the house a multitude of times.

On top of all of this my soon to be ex now wants a video of the contents of our  house, which is so strange. He hasn't been gone that long, is that why it was so easy for him to walk away? No memory of his previous life? I told him he could have all of the furniture in the house, he picked everything out anyway! 
The items I want don't have a monetary value: kids drawings and stories, poems and wobbly pots made from small hands. Mementos from our travel as a family.

The brightest point in all of this is no matter how long it takes, I will always be younger than my ex when I gain my freedom and now I can choose my own furniture, thank you very much!
