It takes 'em a month or more just to get the logistics of moving taken care of...like utilities, furniture, etc...and getting used to living on their own. I think these things take much, much more time than we would like. It's not really realistic to expect things to start turning around so soon. Mine's been out of the house for 3 months now, and the amount of anger that she still has is something to behold. She put up with me for years, and it's unrealistic for me to expect anything positive to happen for a long, long time...if it ever does.
