Had a last minute request for a house viewing. Had to stop packing, run around tidying, cleaning and generally doing stuff I didn't want or need to do right now.
I want to wish all of you across the pond a very happy Thanksgiving.
I am thankful to all of you, sharing your stories and experiences - I may not post much but I have read lots new and old. Thanks to your sharing I know that I am not the mad one!! Seriously though, you have enabled me to see behind the actions and words, to deal with the realities, and hopefully to move on.
I hope you all have a great weekend, regardless of your circumstances, and find something great to be thankful about away from your sitch.
I have packed and moved 300 miles in two days. Moved in to a house I had never seen before. Have no phone or internet. Now live in a town not a beautiful rural area.
BUT...
Its early days. Still I feel that this is probably the best thing I could have done in the circumstances. it wont be easy but it is all new. family are all within a 30 minute drive. All I could need is on my doorstep. And I have so much else to think about that the ex only creeps in on the peripheral.
I e-mailed him at the beginning of the week to let him know I had moved out. No response. I guess there isn't one.
lots to do. Cant sit in the library all day. Will catch up again soon.
I'm glad you feel good about doing this Aa. It will be scary for a bit because it is new, but you will settle in soon. Keeping busy is good to release your brain from all this cr@p.
Sending you best wishes!

Find your Shambala: a place of peace and happiness.
I'm very proud of you. You've taken charge of your life, you've moved quite a distance away and the best thing is that your family really isn't that far from you now if you should need them.
Everything is so very new for you and it's going to take you a few weeks to get things in order and actually settle down. The new year is around the corner and I think there will be a lot of new and pleasant things coming your way in 2014.
Hang in there!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
I'm rural and it would be quite a change. But you can do it! New place, soon new friends, new experiences. Family close, this is also good if you choose to take it.
Hang in there. <3
