You probably don’t feel great, and you can’t see this from inside your situation, but it’s fairly rare to see this rate of progress in most who come to the board.

Well done. Just keep taking it a day at a time, and concentrate on your detachment, acceptance and GAL duties.

Thank you, Kind18. I am still going through the ups and downs. Some days are more challenging than others, but I just learn to accept it is part of the process, own my emotions and let it go. I'm not sure again if this is 'normal' but I genuinely feel having a newborn coming has helped shift the focus massively for me. I really have little time in my day now to even think about MR, what with preparing handover, getting replacement for my role, organizing help, and preparing all the baby stuff before the birth.
I also did some rough calculations with my Mum about what is possible/not for me moving forward, and it seems like the idea of owning my own property myself (without H) is not a very impossible anymore. I am in a sort of good place at least for the moment, although I am sure I still have some work to be done.
