Jpeg - I wasn't stopping with that! LOL That's just what I need to get out of the house. He so desperately wants me to go, and I'm willing (it's a rental) but I can't just walk out with a suitcase in my hand. He needs to be practical. I have had a couple of e-mails back and forth with L today, with many more to follow tomorrow, while we work all this out.
I actually am fighting for more. At first, I was resigned to being stuck moving in with my mother. I really don't want to do that. Now, I realize I don't have to, either. He doesn't want to, and I was afraid to push for fear of making him mad, but I don't care anymore. I'm not moving in with my mom. He's going to have to help me start out fresh, elsewhere, whether he wants to or not. He's not even being reasonable.
I'm so thankful for my L! She kept pointing this out, but I wasn't ready to hear it yet - but she was wise enough to keep me from agreeing to anything I'd regret. Now, I understand. I will be insisting on quite a bit more.
