Hello! January has been rough :/! Due to the relationship/fighting between my mom and step-dad, I decided it is time to move out. I have never lived on my own ... but enough is enough. I am hoping to leave in the spring. My mom has been supportive, I was really emotional having to tell her but she understands. All in all, it will be good for me. And for her! And hopefully she and my stepdad can continue to work on their relationship. Work has been work, I am really struggling there too - but I am surrounded by so much love.
Yes, I am a VERY late bloomer when it comes to moving out but here we are. I am looking forward to my trip to Germany in March (with my family) and my cousin has agreed to go to Paris while we're over there - I just want to say, I went to Paris! The weather here has been the usual winter weather, cold, polar vortex, SNOW. All in all, the weather, the home situation and my emotions made it a pretty overwhelming month. The way the world is going too, just feels so down. I feel scared for my nieces/nephews, they are growing up in a world that is so different than the one I grew up in. Will they be ok? Sigh. Sending love to all, as usual!
Good for you for moving out! It can be very stressful living in an atmosphere of constant arguments. Hell that's what my poor kids had to grow up with and when my ex did a runner peace and calm moved back in. While you can be supportive of your mom you need your own peace too!!!! Good luck, and I'm looking forward to hearing all about your trip to Germany!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am nervous but excited. Yes, it really did a number on me last year and it took time to come to terms with it but my therapist said I think you need to consider it - and she was right. I can understand how tough it was for your kids - I have lived through it twice ;/ I am so excited about Germany and my little side trip!
