Thanks for your thoughts gr8,

I consulted L for my options. There are cohabitation laws that may let me claim the equity. It requires a Judge's hearing and that's where the dirty stuff may have to come out. I do not want that to happen.

I already dodged the second attempt by her to discuss the moving out business. She came out with all sorts of logical options. I told her that working on myself is my priority right now without which I cannot make such big decisions. She agreed.

That was before the drunk meltdown.

So when she comes home drunk again, I will get up and leave the house. She will pass out shortly anyway so all I have to do is to drive around the block.

Signs are beginning to emerge, but the insanity is there too. She is walking in such a thick fog or as my IC said, she is living in a lie.

I have only been truly DB'ing for a week. Baby steps, baby steps...
