Into the abyss!

[Wendylon]

Like FY, I think you're on the right path. There are so many positives.

I wouldn't try to organise a family outing though. Wait for her to suggest that she join you or that you join them. I think it's better if she feels the desire to do something as a threesome.

I can imagine not being fussed ab a Xmas tree if I were living on my own so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

I look forward to your next thread. Congratulations on getting out of the abyss!
