Hi,


The STBX is leaving next week to go live one state north, and I am leaving the week after to live across country.


Even though I know the STBX is terrible for me, is abusive, has done awful things and still does, I am wondering if I will feel sad or lost when he leaves, and when I leave?


Anyone else go through this? How long did it last? Did things get better after?


I ask because when we separated last time, I had panic; however, I now believe it was because of my poor self-esteem and financial situation, both due to STBX. I've been through 3 more months of counseling and am now on meds, plus I've been working on myself and making some money.


Thanks!

It looks like you are adding more value to yourself by making money and taking better care of yourself. This is a good sign
