Thanks for the encouragement. It means a lot. *hugs*
My fog is lifting. I talked to each of my sons yesterday to see how they were doing. The oldest (who is angry with his father) only talked about finals and classes and his focus on completing his degree. I didn't say anything figuring we'd talk when he was ready. My other son has been more open. After telling what his aunt (ex's sister) said, I asked him how he was doing. He said it was just very weird and strange about his father but that he was okay. I know he turns to his girlfriend for support. My fourteen year old daughter is at times very selfish/self absorbed.. which is common at this age. Then again, all this change might be unsettling.
Deciding to sell the house, having the tag sale are both very liberating experiences. I'm doing it for me. It's all about me. I'm broke and in debt. I know my reality and am facing it. And it is MY life and my problems. It's up to me how I resolve them.
Oh yes, even though I sold tons, my garage is still full of treasures. I'll just have another one next weekend. My goal was to move at least one piece of furniture out of every room and to remove 50% of the extras in my house, to make my life simpler.
My attitude toward ex is shifting. As long as we continue to equitably finish up the details of the divorce and he keeps his financial commitment, he is a good ex-husband. I'll focus on wrapping up the loose ends so that the divorce is completed.
