Since you asked, I'm doing. Not bad, not wonderful, just really busy. You know if it weren't for the confusion and the inability to make decisions, I would just think H was nuts. Definately had a whole bunch of paranoia for a long time. If I shared the things I was accused of... Is paranoia contageous? LOL. Realized the other day that part of why I sunk so low so quickly was that I was having paranoid accusations coming at me from both H and MIL (she was living with us at the time and is slightly bipolar, she says with a roll of the eyes)at the same time, and although I'm no angel, I never ever in a million years would have ever dreamed of doing the things I was being accused of and really couldn't believe that anyone who knew me at all would think those things. Two years later, I still find myself checking with a friend that I really trust to see if I am the horrible nutty one, or if they were.
So busy busy busy and that is how it goes around here.
FG, I understand what you are saying about how long to hang on. When it is time to not anymore, you will know. It is hard living with them and moving on with your own life. I am sort of facing one of those delimma's now. I want to buy something alive, and mentioned it yesterday. H went beserk no more animals. I WANTED to ask him, who are you to say yes or no. So I am torn. In the past, I would have said this is my H and I will respect no more animals. I have a bunch of animals already. But now, if he is just a roommate and this is in a cage and won't bother him, why shouldn't I do it? If he was not here I would do it in a heart beat. Actually the list of what I would have if he wasn't here includes at least 4 more animals. So.....
