Thanks luvless and Lost for your input. I have gone back and forth thinking my Dad is right. He does keep saying he would hate to see me give up this nice house in this safe and awesome location for something less and I do know he's right. I know it's just the here and now that I hate being here with the memories.
The month before BD we had just completed redecorating 2 rooms, D11 and D21 so their rooms are spectacular....something I never thought we could do. I redecorated one more room within months following him leaving to keep myself busy.
I guess I need to wait and see exactly what I will get financially from the divorce and make sure I can afford it. I don't want to rely on parents and they are quite influencing because they will give whatever I need to stay here. Unfortunately I'm a very independent and private person and that kills me to lean on them if it comes to that.
As slow as this divorce is moving though I realize there is no use stressing over it until it is finalized first though.
