WAW staying, I'm leaving to give her space..(2)

[GFI]

It sounds as if there's potential for things to settle down a bit now and give you some time for you to establish workable, amicable routines. This is similar to my experience but am still at home fortunately...there was a time when I feld that stuff was so much up in the air there was not an opportunity for me to have a clear run at GettingAL. With a little space and calm I had an opportunity and things became easier in that respect. IMO, nows the prime time for you to monopolise on that. Although yours is an opportunity forged out of misfortune, it looks as if you may have the wiggle room needed to put some top drawer changes in place. Take a breath and go for it! I think now is the time for subtle but positive changes to routine and 180s coupled with consistency, love and calm.

I've def got a long long way to go but I am hopeful this tack is starting to work for me.
