[u-turn]

Hey there T-mom,
It sounds like you have some room for some much needed t-mom time. I hope the distance allows you to look at your situation with an objective eye instead of the constant emotional reminders of the negative.

Way to enforce your boundary - it sounds like he was on board with the notion of moving out which helped with the transition.

How did your son react and take to this?

Keep up the great work!
