In conversations the past few days I have told a few people about the finalized status of my divorce (our divorce? "The" divorce? Not quite sure how to say it yet). Reactions have been mixed, which mirrors my state of mind. Family and life-long friends are sorry to hear the news, more sympathetic than empathetic. Friends I've had for a decade or so are a mix of sympathy but also a bit of congratulations. Acquaintances lean more towards congratulations.
