Hey everyone,

I haven't been around much since the original posts because of well...a web of shit that I'm sure will sound pretty familiar.

I started chipping away at everything.

My head was in a horrible place at work...but I dug myself out.

Hired someone to do a deep clean on the house and got it on the market. 40 showings so far with no bites but that's a different story.

Reconnected with my family and friends that didn't know the ex. Worked to create a separation.

Kept my therapist I started seeing before the separation.

Started indulging in hobbies an exercising. It's been less than three months but the bad days are becoming fewer and fewer.

The biggest drag on me is selling the house. I'm not sure it'll be sold before winter...which is a psychological thing for me.

She has texted...I either don't respond or keep it short.

But things have improved. I have old friends coming over from time to time. More recent friends are checking in.

You can get through it. Keep moving forward.
