Good to see you posting here again... I know you were missed. I'm sorry that you're in the place you are, but you sound as though you're getting a handle on where YOU are in all of this, and that's important.
Quote: Would moving her stuff somewhere else help you reestablish your own space? I know it did for me. And I did it early on. I took down family pictures, wedding pictures, and I packed up all his belongings around the house and boxed them up and put them far from view in the basement. It DID help me reclaim my daily life.
I did this too, also very early on. I needed it then, and I suspect that you might need it now. It did help me a great deal, as hard as it was to do.
I think you're smart to keep up the focus on what is healthy for you and what is moving you in a positive direction, Seattle. If you really take care of yourself and listen to yourself, you'll come to know what you need most and feel the peace that comes with that. I tend to believe that when we allow ourselves the time and space to get there, we make the best choices.
Keep on your path... wherever it takes you. Here's a big hug to sustain you. ((((((((Seattle)))))))))
