Doing much, much better. Won't rehash, but explained in Irish's thread. Planning on using it as the name of my next thread - Not the caretaker - Friend kicked me in the a$$ and screwed my head back on. I still have some trepidation, but am feeling so much better. Checked into liquidating my 401K for a downpayment on a home. (Had considered renting a duplex, but they are twice the price I can buy a home, and still have to pay utilities.) Picked out a very cute place to look at Friday.
Would like ( in my dreams ) to quietly purchase this house and move very slowly and quietly into it, so that by the time XH realized I was gone, I'd be gone.
Anyway, I've began gathering boxes from friends and behind local stores to begin packing away what I know I won't need right off the bat.
No more looking back. Only ahead. I had my weekend to grieve and lament and pull my hair out. It's over. SO OVER!
Wish me luck guys and keep your fingers crossed for me, and maybe I can send you pics of new place on alt soon!
