OD, sorry you're feeling low. You pushed the boat out this weekend, and then you had all the worry and trauma of S's op. You're probably just coming down from all that, so give yourself a bit of TLC next few days.
It's a good idea to see a L. They normally offer a free half hour consultation, and it's well worth seeing more than one on that basis. I wasn't keen on the first one I saw, but liked the second. Be prepared for the hourly rate of £200+ if your S is a partner in the firm like mine is. Also, maybe have a think about collaborative versus traditional avenues. If you want collaborative - ie you sit round the table with your L and work things out - you'll need a collaborative trained L.
You shouldn't 'lose' everything. As your own housing needs will be taken into account, but your L can advise further.
Also, there's no rush to make any huge decisions when you are feeling raw. It's still early days since you confirmed this is a PA. And as we know these things tend to 'run their course.' However, I always think in-house S's sound very tough, when there is an ongoing A. Only you can decide what you can live with.
Take care OD, and keep up the great work supporting the family...(((OD)))
