Hi Kara, Bill & Aver,
Thanks so much for your support. I know, I don't have it very bad in comparison to you guys w kids. My heart goes out to you & them. Bill how is your son doing? That has to be so hard. And you're right, having doubts, real or imagined about my L at this stage is really unsettling.

Aver, I don't know what H's plan is after he moves in. You may remember he has still not admitted an A. What I know is OW owns her own house, was married but separated last June. So I've put the not too-difficult puzzle pieces together myself. I would be sickened by her moving here, but I just can't stand it here. I want to be near my family, work. And this house just keeps falling apart.

Now the kitchen sink pipes are leaking. More evidence of mice. It's too big & cold & expensive to heat. Stores around here keep closing, it's seems to be going downhill from the economy to me. Much as I'll miss having a whole house to myself, the privacy too, and a place where I don't have to worry about my dogs disturbing anyone, I'm ready to go. I'm tired of trying to hold this place together by myself & driving a hr. each day just to see my family.

Can you please take a look at this email I want to send H? I know it's probably too long. Let me know your thoughts if you have time. I haven't been by a computer this wkend but I will stop by your thread soon. Hope your weekend's going well. Thanks my friends.

This is to reply to H's email of Thurs. (asking if I still want house b/c he has to move by April! I also need him to fork over $$ soon to pay overdue gas bill, since it's for hse & apt. we owe like $800. So, how's this:

H,
Yes I still don't want to keep the house but have been spending the last several mos. looking at options for where to live without burdening my family. I have to find a place that will take 2 lg. dogs. The L is working on the S agreement, and I have to think about what I can afford, as I won't be getting much from the house. Plus the credit card debt we have to pay off asap. So I don't have a date for moving out set yet. Figuring out all the finances & separating everything has been a lot of work and takes a lot of time, especially since I work so much overtime.

I have to pay the 2 gas bills since they haven't been pd for a few months. One is $353 (apt.) and the house is $475. I get pd. Fri. so I'll pay $400 and can you pay $400?

Thanks, LFA
