Wayner, there is a ton of hard earned wisdom in this thread.

The group really got me through the hard part via support, camaraderie, and a whole bunch of new friends who'd already been where I was and where I was going. Cool thing is that I know I have made lifelong friends from the group. We get together for hikes, dinners, etc. Divorce is rarely a topic of conversation unless someone just needs to vent.

We have all watched divorces play out with friends and acquaintances...try and get the lawyers out of it as soon as possible. They are the only winners and, frankly, foment chaos to keep the billable clock ticking.
Good luck and reasoning, health and perspective. You can do this....the only easy day was yesterday.
The first thing we do, let's kill all the divorce lawyers.
