Frankly my dear, I'm terrified.

I'm terrified of the divorce process.

I'm terrified of moving.

I'm terrified of buying my own home.

But I'm also terrified that I will let that fear keep me from ever having what I want, which is a home of my own to raise the children in. Stability. The ease of relaxing into a space and not thinking of it as temporary.

I'm terrified. But I can either stay too scared to move or I can grasp what is, after all, a reasonable desire, and put myself in a place to tackle more reasonable fears.

BTW, one of his fears, which surprised me greatly, was that I would pack up the kids and leave town. I told him he was more likely to go than I was. He said, "Oh, I enjoy my job and working with my boss. I can see myself here 3-4 more years."

That doesn't even get D11 to driving age.

I'm so scared. I'm not attaching expectations, I'm setting a goal. I recognize there are pros and cons to that particular goal. But I really want to live a life I can be proud of, not one where I kept hiding in fear.
