I was lucky - at the same time that AH departed for the USA my parents sold a house that Dad had inherited. I took some of the furniture from that house. I also had some new windows so I was able to make some minimal but meaningful changes at the time of separation. I love my house and though there are memories of my marriage here there are also memories of my previous partner (and father of my children) who I shared the place for 7 mainly happy years with. Part of me would love to move and make a fresh start in a new house but the rest of me loves this house and everything I have poured into it. I am in a purge though - I am getting rid of so much clutter and unwanted things that ebay does not know what has hit it!!!
