Got my key. I start moving in tomorrow after work.

Adorable efficiency apartment with plenty of closet space.

EX told me if I want any money (he owes me easily $10,000) that I have to give him a sincere apology for all the rude things I have said and then he will "help me." Mind you, he OWES me this money and it is not helping me. I have thousands of dollars of debt from everything always being in my name. Financing furniture, xmas gifts for skids over the years when he needed "help", etc.

Just got the call. Apartment is mine. It will be ready for me Friday.

I have yet to figure out a truck, I still need more boxes, I have no time off this week, I do not even really know how I will afford living on my own, but I am doing it anyway.

I will miss many things about my old life, but I will not miss his sleeping all the time, lying, irresponsible ways, name calling and gaslighting, bland personality, his ignorant family members, his pompous trashy baby mama. My life was not a happy life and I need to remember that.

I am leaving DH.

Actively looking for an apartment, my parents are looking for me as well, and will begin packing tonight. Will deal with the legal aspect once I am out.

He is back on drugs (although he vehemently denies it). He "hates me" and "can't wait for me to be gone." He has slept through most of his week long visit with the skids, leaving me to care for them. I tried to contact BM several times, no answer from her.

Big news in my family...

My father took a new job that includes a lot of travel. He was VERY bored being retired and submitted his resume to a few places... ended up landing an excellent job with a very high salary. He has an office close by but will be traveling on a bi monthly basis all over the country... as well as internationally on occasion. He plans to bring my mother with him when he can.
