I'm back! (4)

[Terapin]

Started packing and moving some stuff out of the house.

A realtor came last week and suggested we 'declutter'. He did a market analysis, and the listing price he'd use is enough to pay off our consolidation loan, and leave about $30,000 a piece 'profit'.

We've been fixing some stuff around the house. W has rented a storage unit and has been moving her stuff out. It's so difficult packing, taking down pictures, etc. 8 years ago at this time we were moving in. It was one of the happiest times of my life. Decades of hard work to finally get the dream house. Ugh.

At least our son seems to be handling it ok. He hasn't said much, except a few comments about how he's going to miss his friends in the neighborhood.

W is still getting texts from friends and coworkers telling her how strong and courageous she is, along with the typical 'you go girl!', 'you do you', and 'your happiness is all that matters!'. It makes me sick. But ya, I guess you have to be pretty strong to walk out on and destroy your family.
