So, today is the day he gets the last of his belongings out of my home. Then it's limited contact except for about any necessary divorce details. I am looking forward to this, but I know for me there will also be a bit of withdrawal. I am used to hearing from him and to being in touch. I will have to shore up on my boundaries and strength to get through this next phase.

Thankfully, I have 2 new friends who are keeping me occupied, positive and forward thinking. I met a very nice couple while out alone, and I am spending time with them this weekend. They are wonderful people, individually and as a couple, and I am so grateful to have met them! They're being very supportive, though I am trying hard not to dump everything on them at once and to avoid emotion & trauma dumping on them myself.
