Your name still says it all RAI - Rise Above It!! You've been here a long time my friend, it's ok to reclaim your life, your sanity, and your emotional well being with some space. Who knows where this move fits in the larger scheme of things in your sitch but for now it sounds like you were drowning and grabbed onto a healthy piece of floating driftwood. One can only let so many of those float by while saying, "I'm holding out for the reconciliation boat to come by!"

Sending you strength, and peace. None of us thought we'd be where we are, especially if we're over 30. I'm still homeless, living in AirBnb houses, and in the back of my truck. Once you remove any shame that you be self imposing, you realize that you're doing the best you can and have been dealt a setback. So what. Set backs come in the form of cancers, bankruptcies, and in our cases divorces. For others it will be something else.

You've done a LOT of hard work since joining up here, give yourself a ton of credit for that. I hope you sleep like a rock too. Soak up the newfound breathing room, make your new place exactly how you want it, enjoy the support you're getting from the kick ass people around you and keep showing your kids what a rock star their dad is.

Cheers,

PP
