It's going to be a bumpy ride

[Trixi]

Very good.
Once I got out of the house, I had reached the same conclusion.

I think my biggest frustration is that it 'he' is everywhere in this house. I want to be able to "clear my head" - figure out who I am. Wrap my head around what it is to "be" by myself.

I read a booklet by Barbara Rose called "stop being the String Along and be the One" (or something like that) and I can see that I never had the confidence to be 'the one'. I've been settling for being a string along for a long time.

I can only hope and pray that he'll step up to the plate. In the meantime, I'll have a lot of spare time to develop myself.

Thanks so much to all who have taken the time to read my story and offer advice.
