Funny - you were posting on me while I was reading/posting on yours.
I understand what you are saying about needing to have goals in order to keep sight of who you are and where you are heading. DBing you make goals, but they do really seem to sort of include putting a lot of things on hold to deal with spouse.
Just got off the phone with my dad. He's ready for me to move back and thinks I need to wrap up the D/financial side of things so that I am protected and things are settled.
That, of course, makes me want to call H and either 1) scold him for being an idiot and putting me/us in this position or 2) passive aggressively make a few comments.
Instead, I think I'll just send him a short budget. That way he won't be blindsided tomorrow when he sees that $-wise the kids and I can't stay here as things are now.
