Hey Talia-

Just catching up on your thread.

What pearl just said is the thing--I am not there yet, but working on it.

It is all up and down, roller coaster whether we like them or not!

My big issue now is the house, so I am with you in really struggling to make the right decisions for ME, and also make them for the RIGHT reasons.

And protecting myself financially and emotionally, like all of us need to do, has to be priority one.

I am working right now on thinking: what matters is what I WANT, not what I am afraid of (Seeing them together, having her live in the house).

The roller coaster won't end for a long time, so grab the dramamine and hold on!
