How long did your divorce actually take in BC?

What helped me was writing everything down — dates, who said what. It kept me sane and it mattered later. Please be gentle with yourself. You are doing something incredibly hard.

Just adding from the counselling side: the wait itself is a stressor people underestimate. Whatever your timeline turns out to be, build supports for the middle part, not just the finish line.

ours took about a year start to finish because we agreed on everything. friends who fought over the house took far longer. the fighting is the timeline.
