Life - Plan B continued
Thank you to everyone who posted, I shouldnt be surprised as you have all shown yourselves in the past to be caring supportive people to others on your flist. It feels good to know you're all out there...somewhere....
I've been trying to keep off the PC, I wanted to make sure I was there if the kids needed to talk, or to hug or just to cry. Sitting hunched over a keyboard tends to give off 'go away' vibes and I was determined not to let that happen. So... I apologise to those who I have not replied to as yet. I will do.
I'm pretty chipper....what had started as a vague and almost guilty sense of relief has transformed into an energising feeling of ...freedom. I hadn't realised how we had sunk slowly, inexorably into a pit of silent, uncommunicative inertia which made us both unhappy but unable to do anything about it. I feel like I've been given another chance at life now and I think he feels the same. Maybe we can make this work for us and the kids.
On the other hand we've not even started to dismantle our lives together yet, we will start on the finances after Christmas and perhaps things will change when we have to decide who gets to keep the painting we bought in London for our first house or the antique chest we discovered in a junk shop in Wales.....
Thanks again for the kind words of support ladies.
