How many licks does it take...?

Wow! 2tp, I haven't been keeping up on your sitch, but just read it now and am excited for you!

How wonderful to have the work opportunity in Maine at this time of year.

And, how interesting about the exchange between W and FIL. I've been reading "dance of anger" at the request of my IC and as a result decided to repair things with my father, which is going very well. Amazingly enough, it correlated with things suddenly getting better with my H and me.

I liked seeing your perspective about care of the house. I am left in our house with a large property and a pool and two boys. It's been a difficult struggle with maintenance although H always helps with something on his twice weekly visits. I didn't think about how deeply, for a man, the care of his house is. What you said really struck a chord with me. It's been hard to take care of everything when I've been so wrapped up in the grief of him leaving.

I, too, am planning on getting my real estate license. Things are slowly picking up in this area. School starts in a week and a half.

So let us know how things continue to evolve for you. Sounds like W really needs you even though she doesn't want to admit it.

I went back and read your post to me mid-July. I was in the midst of a serious two week depression. I surely appreciate your help to me then. Things are better for me now. I'm moving forward somewhat, detaching a little more (still working on that) and H is changing too.
