Thanks for all the support I've gotten here.
I find that I am getting over all the anger/angst/fear/hurt/sadness/depression about leaving my husband. I bought a condo (well, almost. I still need to get the mortgage and close, which will happen in just two weeks!)
I find myself now thinking about what I need to buy, where to get movers, price-shopping for things like silverware (Target is cheapest), towels (TJMaxx is cheapest), dishes (Ikea beats them all). It's actually kind of fun, exciting. I'm feeling very positive.
Financially, it will be a strain, but my husband has been very reasonable and we've agreed about money and alimony without much conflict. Fortunately, we both have good jobs, so we'll be worse off, but not impoverished.
In retrospect, I should have left years ago. But I wasn't emotionally together enough to conceive of life on my own. I blamed myself for all the problems between us, when he bore a lot of the blame.
