I am running away this weekend (with the kids) to my Aunt's house. She is like a second grandmother to the kids.

But I wanted to drop a little update and say thanks to everyone who responded to my post about making decisions out of fear.

I decided to go for it! I realized that I was letting fear rule my decisions and that is not who I am. So I'm grabbing onto my life with two hands. I got the apartment I wanted. The kids are going to the new (terrific) school starting in the fall. I am negotiating the salary on this job that I am thrilled about.

Seven months ago when I started coming to this board I was a shell of myself. My H of over a decande announced he was unhappy, had a girlfriend and was leaving (no longer interested in being a dad). Thank goodness I had some money in a separate account, a family and friends to help me and the courage to take the help I needed. Also thank goodness for the guidance of a good therapist.

Now I am taking the steps to build a life I am very excited to be living and my kids are doing much better than anyone has any right to expect. We're a great team!

I'll be back Tuesday or Wednesday to check in with you all.

Thanks for all the support I've always found here.
