I'm so happy for you. Now you can be your own person and live a much better life.
At the moment, I'm actually without a home. I signed the house over to him during the divorce and have 3 months to leave. We built this house together 20 years ago. Now I'm a guest here.
I'll be moving 135 miles from here to be near my daughter. I got just enough out of the settlement to get a very small house.
Just Me, continue to focus on the great things ahead-being closer to your daughter and beginning a new chapter of your life in which you can do what YOU want to do, when YOU want to do it. I understand your challenges leaving the house you helped build. Focus on ways you can fix up your little house and make it cute and cozy-reflecting YOU and things YOU like. A house is not what makes a home a home, but the love and atmosphere inside turn a house into a home. Thinking of you.
