Dont know if NPD fits the bill breakaway. But I`ll research it a bit more. Meanwhile I have to add thatI love your name!That`s exactly what I`m trying to do-breakaway!

H has taken a couple of days off to go `home` as he calls it-his parents` place.(Guess this here with his family isn`t really home! LOL!)

Anyway, I feel so free and light! Didn`t know what to do with myself yesterday evening. No looking at a scowling face. Just me and the kids(and no, the kids don`t miss him either).

I`m begining to feel that my LRT is really about breaking away from him. Just slowing moving off from his path onto my own great journey through life. What do I miss about him? I just realised how crap our M has been for the past two years at least and that he`s doing nothing about it either. Oh go play with the girls in the office H I really don`t care.

My only concerns are practical. The recession is having a huge impact here(as elsewhere) and I just want to make sure the kids get through college.

And I don`t want to deprive them of their Dad. In fact if he had them every second weekend I`d have a great break and me having them all week is pretty much the way it is anyway as H is too preoccupied during the week to have anything much to do with them.

He does damn all around the house so I certainly wouldn`t miss him there.

So, its just money and the kids keeping us together.

No, definitely not a DB post. But just happens to be the way I feel right now as I relish my freedom for another day and night.
