Don't Look Back 3

Agreed. It is very difficult when everything doubles.

Expenses double with the addition of a new household.
Chores double as there are two lawns to mow, etc.
There are suddenly two alligators to feed.

For me I am now working a full time job that is more challenging than ever, being a sole parent much of the time, and finding myself struggling to take care of the things STBX used to do for me as a SAHM...and since it was a sudden BD I was just flat unprepared for much of it.

As a result all non-emergency pieces in my life have degenerated a bit. I am working little by little to reintegrate the pieces, but it's definitely a process. Just one more to go along with the grieving process and the legal process. (I have an update on my legal process but am too upset to even broach that conversation yet).

Thanks for sharing SB and hang in. I can't believe I still harbor this naive belief about the world but I can't help but think that our pain will be followed by some really good times ahead.
