Its been pretty peaceful, actually. I still find that we are both walking a tightrope. I'm not really sure how to proceed when I have that 'what if/when' thought in the back of my mind all of the time, but I guess its getting easier.
In the meantime, I've still been working on myself and pursuing my interests full speed. I have a job offer for a full-time gig in another state. The position is to start in six months, and it would give me much more financial stability than I have ever had.
I have to say, this has kind of shifted the dynamic in our relationship as well. I knew that I would need to have the ability to support myself and my children financially no matter what, but even I am pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Six months might not be enough time to solidify his changes or even enough to warn me if his ugly habits decide to rear their heads again, but at least I have options now.
I saw somewhere that you were dealing with those storms/tornadoes (sorry, I can't remember the details right now). I hope that things are better for you now. Thanks for thinking of me. I know my particular sitch doesn't fit the 'status quo,' but it's still nice to have a place to vent, regroup and reflect.
