Living, Just for some perspective on leaving. I was dead set on not leaving the house but after 2 years and 1 month almost to the day I moved out and rented a place on Nov 1. Financially it has been a struggle but at the end of the day mentally I am in a far better place. The main reason I wanted to share this though is the immediate changes I saw in my kids. I had been stuck for so long sharing the house that I think I became blind to the real effects the situation was having on my kids. A huge weight was lifted off their shoulders. All three are much happier, they are all sleeping much better and gone are the tummy aches, wanting to stay home from school etc. Just some observations I wanted share.
Thank you for sharing. I’m so glad to hear that you and your kids have adjusted well to your move. I’m sure my son would be fine if we moved. He’s 16 and doing things teenagers do. You know they very rarely have time for the parents. Lol.
I have some decisions to make. I’m going to see how this appointment goes next week. It’s been 2 years since all this began, maybe it’s time for me to move on. I’m still so torn but I can see how moving on could be good for me but again I’m torn.
I think I was banking on him relocating. Then he decided to stay. Now he wants to fix the things that need work in our house. He doesn’t want to start the divorce until after that’s all done.
I don’t know why it’s so hard for me to leave this dude. That frustrates me.
