I just made it over a huge hurdle! I left my whole life behind and I'm now at my daughter's house 1800 miles away. It was 6 months in the planning and there were times I didn't think I would be able to do it. I feel out of sorts and I get hit with waves of emotion and cry at the drop of a hat but I'm sure that must be pretty normal. My husband was blindsided by the whole thing but has been much more reasonable than I ever would have expected. I talked to him last night for the first time since last Friday. He was OK but made a point of telling me that he would like another chance which is what I was afraid would happen if I talked to him. I need to make it clear that my decision was final. The time for new chances is long past. It took a lot for me to get this far and I know as much as he would like to believe he can change, the truth is he probably can't. I'm emotionally exhausted and feel like a fish out of water but I think the hardest part of it is behind me. I value the advice and support of all of you and welcome any words of wisdom you might have for me at this stage of my transition .
