Feeling much better now thanks to all of your kind words.
small update. two things to share.
1 i've been very busy at work on the weekend which has helped a lot. My mother apologised earlier this week for her behavior and I felt like telling them what happened with more detail. still I haven't told them about OM but this is enough for now. They felt relieved and thanked me. They also encouraged me to move on and live a happier life.
2 I've been getting messages from my ex landlord. (she copies me in every msg she sends to my wife so I'm assuming my W hasn't told her I moved out). One was about a window that needed to be replaced. The one I got today says she couldn't arrange for "fixing the lock this weekend. It'll have to be the next one. Weird.
3 What do you think it's the best way to arrange getting the rest of my stuff back? I intend to be strictly business but don't want to sound arrogant or rude. That'll make her think I'm angry, and I'm not. Part of me feels relieved.
