Bizarre - we are indeed lucky to be able to do this...Thankfully we bought our family home when property prices hadn't gone through the roof and that is paid off now...

However, I think to some extent I was attracted into this position with W saying that she needed space...I gave her that alright but hadn't figured that space would be taken by OM even before I was out of the house and into my new place.

That does make me wonder if its worth it - many signals seem to send the message that there is no hope for us, other times I think there is a lot of hope...yesterday for example, in the afternoon about 4 I got an entirely unexpected phone call from w, just chit chat about this and that..and then she wishes me a good party - it was my works Xmas meal last night...

There is more significance to this than first appears I think - cos a few years ago there likely would have been some drama associated with this event..

As it was I got out of there at about 11 - first to leave I think...and have had a full on day today rather than spending the day in recovery and i was sure to let her know!

So, why did she phone? I think she may have been trying to find out if I had made an early start on the party cos she is looking for confirmation that I can't change - which btw i hadn't.
