I say "was" because I believe I am currently there. I am realistic and expect to backslide. But for now, I am working on myself and my business. I interact and enjoy my teens without trying to control them. I limit my interaction with W and try to keep it pleasant and light. I hint at some business accomplishments without going into detail. Light and pleasant like a friendly neighbor. I can tell you the hardest part is letting go. Doing it is quite refreshing.
I will not comment on whether it is harder or easier with the W out of the house because I don't have that experience.
I expect I will make mistakes. I will need the help of the group to get back on track.
Hang in there. Trust God. Use this opportunity to focus on stuff you have pushed to the back burner because you were working on your M.
