Yes, GEL has been a real lifesaver through all of this. I owe a big part of my sanity to her for sure
For the most part, I am staying put in this R because of my brother (is that like staying together for the sake of the children? - lol) It is something both my H and I came to an agreement about. My brother needs our support right now and H is beneficial in that he can relate to the emotional position he is in because he has been there (and still is to some degree)
I think I would have been gone by now but my brother's situation put a hold on that for a while yet. I am guessing he might be here 6-12 months. H goes to his new therapist this coming Friday. He was supposed to go last week but had to cancel due to work demands.
H has been looking and talking about buying a classic car but I told him I would appreciate if he would hold off on that decision for a while until we got our personal life back on track - he seemed surprised. I still don't think it has sunk in that I/we are walking a fine line here. I told him classic cars don't pay the bills and until we know where we are going to be 6-12 months from now, it's best he hold off. I have to admit he is a whole heck of a lot better than he was but there are definite deal-breaker issues that still need to be addressed.
