Decided to come out of verbally abusive relationship recently. My ex and I are still under the same roof until my finances improve. I have so many plans to make to ensure my son and I get a better deal. I am grieving the relationship (how crap is that when it's been 8 hard years) but I have to simultaneously put practical measures in place to move out. I am so tired with the emotional roller coaster. I have been used to being professional and independent before- why am I finding the simplest of things such an upheaval right now. I feel like I've lost my strength.
