Where do I go from here to rebuild my life alone?

Do I ask David how he would prefer any of his stuff boxed or simply do it?

Homework

(1) What is black&white thinking?

(2) Why is black&white thinking bad?

(3) What does Michele say about black&white thinking? If you don't remember, do some studying in the DR/DB books to answer this.

(4) What can you do to turn this black&white thinking around? (How can you hold onto your hope for the R yet move on with your own life? How can you do your own thing without completely giving up David?)
