Lemme just say that I love my parents.
I decided recently that I want my old name back. I feel like it's really my final step away from the terrible memories that belong to my past, my hellacious marriage, loss of friends, and the whole reason I'm here today. I want to start living for me again, me and my family - and I don't want to hear his name ever again.
That being said.... I'm going to have to cough up $395....
WTF.
Turns out a name change isn't as cheap as I thought...
Although I'm filing for a waiver from the fees, it's not "for sure" getting approved.
So as I was filling out my paperwork, I was forced to have to call my mother (who holds a bank account for me) to find out the amount in that account - to which I was greeted with questions about my court papers [mom is naturally curious]. I told her that I had wanted to surprise them, but I was filing for my name change and was trying to get the $400 fee waived. Long story short, she talked to my dad [tho I DID NOT CALL to ask for their help, or their money - and I made this very clear] and Dad offered to buy my car from me for $500 - giving me a little money left over to pay some bills :)
I had to tell my boyfriend - I was so happy I decided that I needed to tell him in person so I could hug him when I told him :) Divorced for a year - and I'm FINALLY getting my name back :)
