ummm, you aren’t away from him all the time. You are talking to him, emailing him, texting him, agreeing (even for a fee) to go clean his house: you might have moved out, but you are not out from his influence, or the stress and negativity it causes. You need a clean break from him, dear. You need to not take HIS calls, emails, or texts. :: hugs ::

Sounds like a plateau. Might want to mix up the exercise, and eat a tad more for a day-that often jump-kicks the metabolism out of ’starvation’ mode. Congrats on keeping the mood even keeled during this HUGE transition in your life!

VERY exciting, and good for you! Try and turn a deaf ear to the bastid; he won’t have control over you much longer.

Good for you for looking out for yourself. It is really impressive and wonderful that you are getting yourself out of a not so great situation.

I thought I posted to you a couple of days ago; the black hole of internet space must’ve eaten it up. YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING. Absolutely! I know it’s hard; been there, done that…..at the age of 50 and while going through menopause. I GET IT. I was afraid of the loneliness too. But you MUST do this, and I’m very happy that you are. But my therapist at the time told me to NOT be afraid of the loneliness. To THRIVE on it! To enjoy “building and feathering your nest.” i.e., enjoy setting up your OWN place. Enjoy making it YOU. Enjoy that you can fix it up to be exactly what YOU want, and enjoy the fact that you don’t have to bend to ANYONE doing that! Even if you don’t have a lot of money to spend, you can still enjoy making your new home YOURS. Don’t let your kids walk all over you. Set firm ground rules that are sensible, and hold them accountable. Tell them it’s their chance, away from the jerk, to show you how grown up and responsible they can be, and that their actions will have natural consequences, both bad and good, and that their future in that regard is totally up to them. They can choose to obey your rules and live a good, calm, cohesive life with you, or they can break your rules and suffer the consequences. THAT choice is theirs. It’s your choice, as mom, to set those rules right now, and then enforce them. But please, start putting the past behind you, focus on the fun of a new life you get to create yourself RIGHT in front of you, and go for it!!!! :: Hugs ::

Good for you for doing what is best for you and your family! I know it’s hard, but you deserve to be treated with respect.

And yay for the almost 20 pounds gone!
