New and need encouragement

[Not Quitting]

DB came in at library today. Now H is out of house for his "trial separation" I can sit and read that and DR in peace. Also read Michelle's book on improving self and others around me. Found that one really helpful - already feeling a bit less depressed.

H left 48 hours ago. First contact since then was text from him this afternoon asking how S13 was doing. Sent short response that he seems ok and left it at that.

Working on detaching and GAL. Now he's not home I don't feel like I'm walking on eggshells all the time so I'm much more relaxed. The break is going to do me some good, whatever the outcome, I'd like to think. Picked up a hobby I've been neglecting completely for the last several months and spending minimal time on prior to that for a number of reasons - got some catching up to do with it.

H is coming round tomorrow afternoon to spend some time with S13. Let's see how he is after his dad leaves again. Hopefully he'll be ok still. And hopefully I'll be able to stay as relaxed as I feel right now.
