I normally just vent, but this is... I don't know... a brag post?

I get to move into my new place on Sunday! It's a mile from STBX's house, so I will get to see my kids more often.

I have been living at my GF's about half of the time since December... and there almost full time since late June. It's going to be so nice to have my own place again.

I feel like I have been living out of my car for almost a year.

@CatsNTats, some were asking about you, last week or so. I think it was on the Betrayed Womenz thread. They were wondering about were you where and if you were safe.

Awesome sauce, barcher. Sounds perfect and I am happy for you!

So, spill it!

Floor plan? Color scheme? Housewarming? Does it have a pool?

Ocean views?

It's a 3-level townhouse, with 4 bedrooms. I have definitely noticed that I am walking up and down stairs a lot more than I have previously.

It sort of has a pool. The HOA includes membership in a facility that includes a pool. Unfortunately, it is already closed for the season.

Considering it is less than 10 miles from the Mississippi River, the ocean view is conspicuously missing.

I think that I am to a place where I am pretty much permanently safe. I haven't had depression symptoms for over a year and I don't live with STBXW any longer (so no fear of getting arrested either).

Things are pretty calm right now on the divorce front. I *finally* have a competent attorney. My custody evaluation begins next week. I think that will be pretty straight-forward.

STBXW definitely decided to cause a ruckus this weekend, such that one of our kids has decided that I am a black soul and that she never wants to see me again. I am pretty hurt about that, but I gotta just keeping chugging along, doing my best.
