    My living hell is becoming more of a distant memory.

    I am very happy with my life out of the swamp.

    I have come back home after a long trip and it,is not the marital home.

    Back home, firmly rooted in the new life I struggled to achieve.

    Feels so good. Sweet BF is consistently loving.

    My struggle? Recent problems with my brother have triggered PTSD symptoms I am needing to manage. Tells me I am fragile. Had a bad nightmare last night. He is permanently out of my life. That was the first step.

    So I will need a lifetime of good self care and activities that promote healing? Good. Sign me up!

    Stickin with the hood for perspective.

    I’m glad you are sticking with the hood! You give out good vibes!

    However, I wish you could live full time in Yosemite. You seemed so happy and at peace there. Where in Oregon?

    Much love, Claire

    Boy, there is just nothing like getting away.

    Desiree, I hope your brother stays out of your life. I totally understand needing him out. You are right to focus on taking care of yourself and people who are good to you.

    Claire, we live next to the McKenzie river in the Eugene/Springfield area. Why not just live in Yosemite? We are thinking that through now. Our time their this fall was a “living there” experiment. The home is a short term vacation rental and we worked hard on the place when not playing hard. Winter is decidely different than sunny fall or Indian Summer. The trails and roads are quite icy when storms come, almost everyone is gone and the only resturant closes. Will see what the future holds. That is for us to discover!

    Thx, Teri. While my relationship is over in terms of relating to my brother, I still am a Trustee for 2 trusts my deceased parents had set up in their will. So I will focus on the fiduciary management of those trusts and designate a professional disabled services type payee that will distribute funds to him. Then, I get NO CONTACT. Yes!
