Legal Preparations
So I decided to hire a lawyer. No way was I going to let Alex and his new family enjoy the rewards of my labor. “I’ll fight back,” I told myself as I began looking for the best divorce attorney I could find. This was more than just a dispute over possessions; it was about my dignity and future. Everything I had worked so hard for was on the line, and I was not going to back down.

Emotional Turmoil
Seeing Beth around, joyful and pregnant, tore me apart. That was supposed to be me—happy, expecting, and starting a family with Alex. Instead, I found myself fighting back tears whenever I saw anything baby-related. It was extremely unjust. I felt robbed not only of my husband, but also of the future I had envisioned for us. But I couldn’t let it break me. At least not totally.
