Hi Nicole! I'm sorry to about you sitch. Reading thru your posts reminds me of how I felt in the beginning too. Seemed like the bomb came from nowhere and very little communication since H moved out. It does sound a bit encouraging that he's contacted you since you started the 180s, and then a bit of a backslide by finding a place to rent.

I know it's not easy, but there will be good days and bad. Get yourself busy! Take care of the kids, of course, but make time for yourself. Get some exercise, spend time with friends, and pretty soon you'll start having more good days than bad!

Keep posting here and journal about your days, the good ones and the bad. Hang in there!
