The family home is tough. I am moving back into mine in August and I have no idea how I will react. Long term, as much as I love the house, the neighborhood, and the bargain mortgage, I do not see myself establishing a post-D life in the house. Of course, it is easier for me since I dont have any kids. I just dont see how I could move past the "ghosts" and memories in order to construct a new life either by myself or with a new partner.

As Steve said, we are both very early in the process so it is hard to predict how we will feel about these things in 6 months or a year. It is probably best to take it one step at a time.
