Kermie
Laurie hit it on the head as always!
Back in August....I found a wonderful house on 2 acres to rent in a beautiful area here
in NJ. It would not be ready until October 1st and my lease was up where I was at so my girlfriend who is going through a divorce said I could stay with her until then. I put everything in storage that I own-my whole life!
On September 14th I was laid off from my long time job-I felt lost hopeless as I could not take that new place! SO my little dog who will be 18 in March and I are blessed we have a roof over our heads but it is not January and nothing has come up with work and there are days that I still get so sad that this is happening!
CHANGE! It is not easy....and with your A brother being there and you having been through this before with your AH (everything Laurie stated) would make you upset-it is natural! Keep telling yourself yes, that it is not "FOREVER"
You have truly come far Kermie! Keep moving forward sweets!
