We agreed when H moved out that the apartment was for HIM to have time and space. It is a 1 bdrm & doesn't have a place for boys to sleep (except floor, of course).

We also agreed that boys would remain in their home-ONE home, not dragged around back and forth to two places. I am very adament about this for them.

I am NOT a prisoner. I choose this. I choose to be with my kids. They will only be young once, and I choose to be there for them.

On weekends I can go out w friends when I plan in advance (or even if I dont' boys can stay home by themselves for a few hours).

Having said that, I DO need to meet new people-open myself up for new life experiences and possibilities. It's finding the balance that I need/want that I need to work on. I know I need to let my control over the boys' lives go a little, but this is not a sacrifice I make easily (I didn't ask not to be w my boys, H did...he did literally say he needed space from "Family life.")
