Hi Thornton, I'm sorry to hear that. I can recall visiting the marital home after we separated to find all the photos of me had been taken down and replaced with others - yucky for sure.

And somewhat insensitive of her to toss it in the trash where you might likely find it - but oh well that's on her I guess. I wonder if some of her actions are somewhat provocative - ie: hoping to elicit a response which may affirm she is right to go...

Anyway - she will do what she will do...and I hope you can haul yourself up and start making baby steps toward the kind of life you hope to lead going forward.

I know you have your name down for an apartment in the complex you like. Can I ask, if she is gone and you are feeling genuinely happy and settled there, and not yet dating, what will your life look like? Will you be working in the same place, doing the same kind of role? How will you spend your leisure time? What will you enjoy doing and who will you spend time with?

I agree with others about your D. D's always need their Dad. So, even if she is busy with some other stuff, do suggest regular get togethers. Even if it's a quick lunch or a movie she wants to see.

I also wanted to ask - is your SD's biological father in touch with her still?

Take care my friend and remember where to try and keep your focus - on you and forward momentum..

smile
