The first year
I have started to future trip. I need to stop. AH and I have our 22 year anniversary date looming in August and I dread it more and more as it approaches. Then, I think about the holidays that come after as well. I left his home a month ago, but still have contact, as we have a 17 year old daughter. She turns 18 in October, and I am seriously considering filing immediately afterward. Obviously, I have no plans to return, but as he was taken by surprise by my move (go figure), he is still going through lots of emotional upheaval and calls me regularly (daily). I do not want to spend much time with him (the fall is the worst!), and I am trying to figure out a way to nicely give him the message to leave me alone. I am thinking of making sure that I am out of town for the anniversary date.
I have lots to keep me occupied this year; my DD, some wonderful friends, a demanding job, and a new home to settle into. Any other suggestions for how to get stbxAH off of my radar?
