I now almost wish he is laid off in October. He says the same, but I'm not 100% sure he's sure of that wish. It is all anxiety-provoking, and I'm sure it is even more so for him now. I have almost reached a point of acceptance. Plus, I'm so frustrated with the situation where we are, that a change is now very welcome. It used to be that I dreaded having to switch psychiatrists, but as with the other stuff, I've reached a point of acceptance about that. I like my therapist, but won't grieve the loss of her. As for my family, it's OK not being near them. Friends have long ago faded away. In fact, it seems next to impossible to make new ones in the current environment. A fresh start will be so welcome. Tough, but hopefully a good thing.

I understand those frustrations about work. It is hard to be in the supoortive role when there isn't much you can do. You're a great wife and I am sure you are appreciated. I also think it is great you are already making mental and emotional preparations for your possible move. Letting go a bit at a time seems wise.
