exW messaged me about being in the final process of closing on a house. Surprisingly, I didn't feel anything in terms of an emotional reaction. I think having that reaction earlier and getting past it made me deal with the news pretty well.

Thinking through the process of what I want to achieve with my kids over the next few years and what my priorities are made have better perspective on it. I just need to roll on with my life and make it the best I can with the kiddos.

I am making some professional moves and applying for better positions with better income - making that my main goal so I can get my finances in order and be in a better place for me and the kids. Also, I want to have a place I can invite people over, and dates potentially, and the current situation doesn't really allow for that.

All in all, things are good and I am hoping to get to a stronger place by the end of the year.
