pls chk my posting under piecing. Believe me, THIS IS the hardest part in some ways. But if you really have this choice, remember that many don't get a choice. Sometimes that helps...I just feel this part is when the work really is starting and I have also been on my own for 2 years more or less.
You get used to it, even at peace. And sometimes, you start to taste the freedom of not having to consider the H's needs at all times, and finally put yourself and your kids first....and that can start tasting good...plus just Not having so much tension at home with them there, can be a serious blessing. Definite friction with the kids at first. Like a guy in the Navy coming home after years and wanting to just pick up where he left off, blurting out orders, etc. I've had some good talks with H about slowing ALL that down, giving the kids time to adjust and trust that he IS going to be around. But forgiving and letting go of the past 2 years like it didn't happen, is much harder than I realized. And it isn't like that anyhow. BUT, Im hanging in, and rooting for you. j-
