Okay... I signed a lease...

I have a small 1 bedroom apartment as of April 1st! DS can have the bedroom, while I sleep in the living room. I went online and have my new phone number (completely unlisted), with service to be turned on the 31st, and have the electric scheduled to be switched into my name on the 1st.

You know... I didn't feel nervous as I went to sign the lease.

Oh, the other thing is that I went to talk to the principal of ds's school today. I told her that we've moved in with my mother for a month, and that the marriage has basically been an emotionally abusive relationship. She was very supportive, and feels that the decision I've made is for the best (keep in mind... this is coming from a nun). She mentioned that she has noticed a big change in ds's demeanor in the last week... he just seems much more at ease. She also said that she's noticed that I appear less stressed in the last couple of weeks, in comparison to the beginning of the school year.

So... basically everyone I've talked to has been very supportive of my decision... it feels good to have that.
