I haven't posted to you before but I was so impressed by some of the things you have posted to newcomers that I wanted to catch up on your sitch.
Your strength is amazing and you sound good at the moment. It must have been difficult when your h was sulking but you handled it like a DB champ.
I see some similarities in our situations. My h is living with ow but in the past month or so he has finally taken some steps forward towards me, admittedly baby, after I took a risk with him. Change was a long time coming but I realised I keeping the status quo too and it needed something shaking up. My outlook looked bleak for a long time but I, like you, have the gift of persistence
Anyway, I just wanted to offer support and say hi.
