The Day I Moved Out

August 23rd, 2022 was our 19th wedding anniversary. It was also the night I finally moved out.

(Dear Readers, this article is part of a larger on-going series of posts called “Processing Divorce” in which I write about and process both my own divorce as well as what it was like growing up in a divorced home. It may not be for everyone, and that’s okay. Thanks.)

You may recall that last week I reflected on the one year anniversary of when my marriage ended.

Well, today allow me to share with you how this day, August 23rd, would have been my former wife and mine’s 20th anniversary, and how also, one year ago today (on what was our 19th anniversary), I finally moved out of the house for good.

But wait… if the marriage ended on August 15th, but I didn’t move out until August 23rd, then… huh?

Yeah. I know.

I’ll try and explain.
