this is a wonderful thread! I have filled out application for new apartment and moving forward packing and keeping things in order.
Yesterday had nice "talk" with AH about my departure and my honest hopes for myself and for him, separate from eachother as friends, if that is possible.
Made several responsible, though difficult, decisions for my move up north and feel good about that.
So far, so good for me taking care of myself and being sure to keep my eye on the ball to not fall into the role of trying to take care of my other family members. I feel very empowered and proud of myself and my decisions. That is a big change for me.
