Newby here, desperate for some advice (thread 5)

[JRuss]

FG -- I'm not sure what the timing is at this point. She's made noises like she might want to move to that one-bedroom apartment model, where we split time there solo and parent in the main house solo. I'm not sure I'm interested in that and don't think she can make me participate in that, but I need to make sure I know my rights and what I'd do if that comes up.

lt -- thanks for the well wishes. It feels good when the waves of acceptance wash over me. They don't stick around too long yet, but hopefully they gain traction, because the sorrow, anger, denial/bargaining loop I've been stuck in for almost two years is no good!
