Bunny, you've been married for a long time, so it's not surprising that you feel out of sorts right now.

Give yourself a break and don't second guess your decision. You have made a series of very brave, very profound changes to improve the quality of your life.

I, and so many others here, are very proud of you for having the courage to actually do something about a horrendous situation. You have taken some giant steps to save yourself.

Enjoy the quiet, feel yourself becoming emotionally healthier and stronger.

And, yes, things will get very tense when you hash out the finances, but just let your atty do the heavy lifting then. Do not listen to, nor believe, that your h can leave you without a dime. That is B.S. and you know it. Get a hearing for spousal maintenance asap.

You are an inspiration to us all on this board.

(((Bunny)))
