Is it Zoe that comes home at 7 PM? Why does she do that? Either way, I'm not sure if I'd suggest you to go to another relationship so soon after your previous one ended. How much time has passed since it ended exactly? Perhaps you may want to let some time pass and take time to grieve the end of your relationship. It's fine if you just want to date casually but you need to be honest with her from the start in that case. I'm not sure I'd commit to a serious relationship so soon after the previous one ended. That's your choice though! Whathever works for you. I'd suggest to take care of yourself since you're also struggling with MI. I wouldn't worry too much about what your friends or your parents may think. After all this is YOUR life and YOU need to take the major decisions for your life without other people interfering! Also who was the one who pressed charges for domestic violence? Was it you or Zoe? If it was Zoe, is it true? If it is true you ABSOLUTELY need to get help and to reach out to a professional as soon as you possibly CAN and to NOT commit to ANY RELATIONSHIP while you take care of yourself! If I've had it all wrong then I apologize to you! Either way, be careful and wise in what you decide to do! Consider every option before making a decision! There's nothing wrong with taking care of yourself! Wish you the best of luck! Let us know how it goes and what you decide to do! Remember to TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH you and Katie, Kane!
