Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise - it frees me from having to have such close coupling with d16 - if she wants to move away, she is welcome to, but then I can do the same. This directly contradicts #1 a few posts ago, however.
Our house has a small separate living space on the lowest floor. Perhaps I could rent this from the new owners, or we could rent the whole house out, and generate income that way, still keeping the small digs downstairs.
Letting go is hard -
The house, the garden, the child, good to get rid of W though, all the sentimental stuff that comes with a place one has lived in 15 years. I was quite sad when my parents sold the two houses we lived in growing up.
And I am bitter that W has won, taking my beloved d16 with her, for three years!
