Aver I really hope you can figure out how to get rid of this bitterness. It keeps holding you back. Making you cycle.
Automate the bills. Deal via 3rd party. Cut the rope. Just leave enough for him to hang himself.
I do think your getting to a better place. You are getting very good at expressing your emotions. This is a good thing. Something you have been working on for months and it is paying off. Your becoming honest with your self.
I understand the fight for the house. I understand the concept of no OM in that hallowed grounds. I understand about not wanting to give up on the town. I agree with you on these concepts. For they are very important in who you are. But you are getting to a point where you need to decide what you want to keep and what you need to shed. As you need to begin to move forward again with a fluid motion. You have the support of the real world and here. You have a good schedule of activities in your day to day life.
You live a full life.
Now you need to realize this and embrace it again.
Take Care.
