My Story I believe I've lived this story already!!
#20: July 10, 2023, 01:36:43 PM
Yes, I'm seeking legal advise.  My lawyer was actually the one who said I should keep the house if I could afford to.

Yeah, it's not different really.  i was better when I was working (distracted).  I work in the school system and being on summer break is a struggle because I am having to figure out who I am again.  The mom hat has shifted with my youngest going away to college. Obviously, the wife hat has been thrown away by H. The emotional roller coaster is a nightmare currently.

On a good note, I had a fabulous weekend without thinking about H!! That's major for me because I always think how he is missing out on all the fun stuff my D18 and I have been doing, but really, it is his loss and not my problem!!

Atsababy- The family time is a hard one. Time alone gets easier, but time with family and that missing part can continue to be an little trigger. Also, it isn’t just his problem. It’s your loss and your kids loss as well. I have found the more new memories you make the easier it gets. Sometimes in those moments that are hard you just have to fake it until you make it.  There is no way around this, but through it. Looks like you are doing just that :)

There is almost something harder about someone being alive and having to lose what you believed to be true of them than someone actually dying.

Indefatigability - determined to do or achieve something; firmness of purpose
