I can't put a logic to it. All I know is I am okay when they're not here. I am more positive, I can think more clearly, I eat better, sleep without nightmares and have less headaches. I also don't cry, am more patient with DD4, more attentive, and I work loads better.
Today I was supposed to be working and I didn't.
Whenever I am in contact with him and them I end up a depressive, unfunctioning mess, and that includes contact with them minus him. I have slightly more good times with them, but it still affects a reduction in my mood.
So in that respect I know moving further away would help. It would help me and DD4 anyway.
