I'm Really Doing This... I Think I May Puke!!!
I got the little house I was looking to rent!!! OH MY!!! I sign the lease next week. I go see my lawyer Thursday. I keep moving ahead. I'm excited. I think.
I feel like I need to be sick. I'm going to do this I keep telling myself, pushing myself. I know it's right. I'm still feelin' kind of sick.
Anyway, thought you all might like an update and I felt that I wanted to post the good stuff along with my crazy freaky feelings too. Kind of helps. I think.
Thanks all...

Oh my goodness I remember that feeling! Packing my things, loading the truck, and driving away. I've never been so nauseated! My head kept spinning round and round.
I was excited and sick the entire time.
You can do this!!!!!!

It's like sea-sickness-- I mean, you really want to stay on the boat and take this journey to the land of freedom and serenity! So a little puking along the way? A minor annoyance till you have your sea legs!
Stay strong
((((((hugs)))))))))

Way to go!!!!
Transform.... why do you keep forgetting us poor helpless males here with AW's? =)
Brundle, I will be where you are at in a few months. The AW asked me to not finalize the divorce until the end of the year so she can afford to get treatment and make it easier to file taxes after we start to sell off the funds we share.
Part of me wants to just get it all over with and do what you are doing. I will watch for your inspirational posts to give me strength when the time comes.

You can look at brundle's past posts to read how much abuse she has suffered at the hands of this man.
All the more reason for me to say I am so proud of you girl!!!!!!!!! You've come so far since we first met you here.
There is a much better life waiting for you out here. Hang in there!

How long did it take you to get to this point (I'm new here)? I'm curious what lead to your decision.
What's it been since you started here, Brundle? A year? and how many before that, I suppose. Too many to think of I'm sure.
Whereisthisgoin,
I can say for me I was 10+ years into a relationship with an alcoholic before I reached my breaking point and finally reached out for help. My codependency was a heavy problem long before I even met him, though. When I finally sought recovery in January of this year, it was several months before I realized I would end up leaving and several months after that when, after working hard and saving money, my higher power kicked me right of the edge into the pool and I had to sink or swim. My XABF lost his job that provided our housing and the time to leave became immediate.
You see, life has a way of bringing these revelations to you. Sometimes they happen when you least expect it, but they always seem to happen when their meant to.
Just work your recovery (because it works) and the rest will fall into place at its own pace just like Brundle.

I wanna join the left A spouse single parents group (including ya in there Zak).
Good for you, Brundle!! Hang in there and puke away if you need to.
I had the same sick to my stomach feeling when I left. I was SOO angry and sad and disappointed. I wanted to yell and scream but I wanted to cry at the same time. I can't even remember how many anxiety attacks I had that night. Even after I left I was still having them those first couple of nights. It got easier though. Still waiting for it all to go away but they are fewer and further between anymore.
