Quick Update DB friends. These two situations I've sought your valuable advice in have developed:

1) I have moved out of the bedroom into the spare room in our home. W has said so many spiteful and hurtful things during her last 2 spews that I can no longer stay sane sharing a bed or a dressing area with her. I struggled with this, because I did not want to send the wrong message to my sons. I have reached a point where I really do not like the person she has become and in an act of self preservation, I chose to move out of her lair.

2) interviewed for the new job this afternoon. This job will cost me around 5-6k in salary per year, but will reduce stress, driving, food expenditures, and put me taking my 12 year old to school every day for the next 5 1/2 years. I was offered the job before the interview even concluded. I am excited, S12 is excited, S10 is excited, but W only sees loss in money. Sadly, she also thinks I want to be around more to spy on her. It is a new chapter in my life. New scenery, new people, more time with my kids. Can't beat it.

Thanks for all my friends here who have kept me in your thoughts recently. I've had some rough times in the last couple months. I know most of you see my humorous and sometimes flirtatious posts here and don't know that much about my sitch. Day to day still svcks in my house and this group of friends has become an oasis in an otherwise barren desert of sadness. Some of you have reached out to me personally and I am forever in your debt. My life is touched by your presence. If only on the other side of this screen that I stare at. Thank you all and God bless you for sharing and allowing me into your lives.
