Hey tal, thinking of you.

Sue, my. What a weekend. I am so sorry. My H does the same thing when I ask him what his plans are, he turns it around and asks ME what MY plans are. I ignore him now and don't ask. You are doing the right thing finding an apartment. Separation might be good at this point. You have fought the fight, and it seems you are dropping the rope (as I did in Florida) and that's good. I could list the dozen or more things that have been better in my life since H moved out. Of course, its hard, but its the better option. Any chance of breaking your lease before July? I think a separation would be better sooner....

I am so sorry about the experiences you have had with H in your past, and with your father. What a strong woman you are, even if you don't see it now. Look up Jewel's "Stronger Woman" on youtube, and listen. Its you.
