Hey Luke...round and round you go, yea? That is not a good place to be.
I am thinking a few things. You ready? . You cant rush this along. You cant make it go the way you think it should go. That truth of it is that she aint done. The real truth is that this takes way longer than a few years.
You are getting to the point where you cant take it going this way. I get it. This stuff suckks.
Living with an MLCer is a special kind of hard. But, you matter. You need to take care of you. You need to watch out for your son. He is watching. Taking it all in.
If you make the decision to move out and make sure you are doing that for the right reasons, it doesn't mean the door is closed. It doesn't mean you gave up. It doesn't mean it's the end of the story if you don't want it to be.
It simply means that you are practicing self care. And there isn't anything at all wrong with that.
You can still keep the door open if you choose to.
Sometimes we just need to be still some in order to be able to "hear" what we need to hear.
Follow your gut, sweetie. Stay true to who you are. You can never go wrong if you do.
