I was to meet with a lawyer regarding my house situation but I have been to sick to do it. Found out I have another infection raging in my stomach and I am now back on another dose of antibiotics and I am in pain and very, very tired. I am to see an internal specialist tomorrow as they found something in my urine and blood. I am to go for surgery sometime due to severe pain on my right side. I however, am grateful I was able to talk to the lawyer about what my options are regarding what the ABF had said about the house division. I know I have options now and once I feel better, I do have plans to see the lawyer to get my ducks and geese in a row and give my retainer fee. I am trying not to focus on what he had said and just focus on what I have to do to protect myself. I keep saying, I am grateful, I am not legally married to him, I only have the house in joint names. I am grateful he is not here and working and is sober, I am grateful I am here with my daughter and working on my recovery, I am grateful I am not believing his words that has no action followed up, I am grateful for a roof over my head, food, alone time, a paycheck, money that I have been saving up for emergency, a vehicle, and that not everything is in a joint names and that things will work out the way it is. I am going to another Al-anon meeting tonight. I just have to keep focused on today!
Joker you sound good even though sick
With an infection.
Self protect and do the next best thing
Is my motto. Keep up with your alanon
And the more you can detach From the
situation and him the better off you will be.
Good luck on the surgery, prayers coming
Your way.
So sorry you are sick physically Joker - that tends to magnify 'things' for me. I applaud and love how you are making a gratitude list and planning for you and self-care! Keep it up and I've got prayers and positive mojo headed your way from my small part of the world.
Keep coming back - you're not alone!
