Oh, man. It's all too much to endure today. My special girl for the last almost 25 years and I are separating and divorcing -- and is all happening in slow motion. I moved into the spare room nearly a month ago. We've almost got the house ready to sell. Only once we've done that can we afford to move out separately.

It's all happening so slowly, I feel ready now to move on. Mr5yo has gotten used to some days my ex looks after him and some days I do. He'll be fine once were in separate places.

I'm starting to feel trapped by the glacial pace of this process. I want and need to start healing myself but I can't while we're still under the same roof.

@TheSleech That really sounds difficult! I hope that once you and your ex live under separate roofs, that you can begin your healing. You're doing fine, just take one step at a time. You'll get there heart

Hey,

First of all, thanks for sharing your story with us. It sounds like you're going through a really rough and stressful time. Transitions can be super, super tough and I can definitely relate to that feeling of being trapped. You just need things to move before you can move on. What is really positive from what I can read is that you're ready and willing to move forward from this and that you are finding some positivity within this experience.

What you're going through is really tough. Just remember that you deserve love and compassion and if you feel like you've taken a step back, forgive yourself.

All my love,

Lee.
