I've had a great weekend - my son and I went back to the art fair today and took our time looking at everything we didn't have time for yesterday. I bought a cute drawing and some cards.

These last few days I've been cleaning and organizing. I think I'm starting to establish myself here (emotionally) and not feel like I may be going back.

I have also felt several times lately that I enjoy not having a partner. It feels freeing not to have someone disapprove or judge my thoughts and actions, or control me (in H's case through passivity and withholding). I've been walking on eggshells for a really long time, even if I didn't think I did.

Maybe it's time to leave the Newcomer's forum (although it may be okay to read that you can get out on the other side of this)?
