It makes perfect sense Meggie.
Up until now the environment was controlled...making it a bit easier to align your expectations. Now each of you will need to make decisions, some of them hard, as things occur.
That, of course is scary as heck.
If it feels like its getting thick, think back to how difficult it was living in the chaos, and how nice its been to not have it it your life.
My prayers are with the both of you, that you both finds paths of peace in the upcoming months.
