Thanks for reading Ss06 and Hope. Early on I set my sights on what I wanted long term and tried not to get too caught up in how difficult any day, week, or month was. In my case I had a newborn that wouldn't remember what happened early on, so by setting my goal for what I wanted a year or two later, I gave myself permission to lean into uncertainty for a long time, even when the rest of the world, like family and friends, wanted things settled either for good or for bad.

Being in limbo is exhausting but I applaud everyone here for putting one foot in front of the other when just ending things seems so much easier. Hang in there!
