I haven't checked in for a while, but I just tried to read and get caught up with the other regulars on this thread. There is so much comfort to be found here, just in knowing you're not alone.
I've had a couple of phone conversations with H, but nothing on a personal level. I've tried to stay dark unless it's a bill that's due, etc. He called yesterday just about life details, and it was all I could do not to ask for some kind of idea of where his head is- and if he plans to file for D (but I DIDN'T!!) He texted last night about another insurance bill that he had tried to correct on my behalf, so I thanked him but said I will handle it tomorrow. I then told him I may need him to get involved in a situation with a store over a problem oven, but that I hoped I had it handled on my own. He texted back "you go girl." I'm doing better with my GAL, and going to counseling every week. The not knowing what this will look like a year from now is the hardest part for me. But this much I DO know now, that I did not come to this thread with, is that I am going to be OK, with him or without him. And I have you guys to thank for that. Keep doing the good work & helping all of us on this hard road.
