Yeah, this sounds good to me. You sound really good. Stay strong!
I did a 180 too recently, and it feels good. I hated thinking about doing it - like turning off to my boyfriend - but I had to. I have to protect myself. He's been crazy lately and I was just getting constantly hurt and angry, so I detached. It's really a gift. I can enjoy our baby daughter and enjoy my life and not feel constantly like he's sucking the life/joy/etc out of me. I just don't let him. He needs to get stuff figured out, and I don't need to hold his hand or micromange it. If it happens in the next six-months to a year, great, if not, I'll have made myself a much better person and potential partner to someone else in the meantime. It [censored] about our daughter but we have committed to making her life as trauma-free as possible given that our relationship is iffy. We plan to make good strong decisions with her in mind either way we go.
