I stayed long enough to be prepared so that it is not forced nor is a last resort. It is merely the next natural step in the process of my life. . . . . This battle keeps me mired in my past and the guilt that is associated with it.
I don't know if I can deal with my status quo for 2.5 years, but this is the mindset that I want to achieve before I take any action to stop M (if H doesn't). I don't want to do anything as a reaction. I only want to make changes that feel like the right next step. Thank you for articulating this.
