Next phase of my journey rebuilding
I am 9 months out from my ex of 17 years pulling the plug. Wont go into it all again as its not really the point of this post, but you can see my post. Our old house sold a couple months ago, thst was the final nail in the coffin of hope for reconciliation, and the final asset that tied us together financially. Once the money hit my account I immediately got on to pre-approvals for a loan and started house-hunting.
Today I just signed of on the purchase of my own house! I maxed out my lending capacity, but its everything I could want for me and my almost-four year old daughter and I am stoked! Great location, great school zone, an enclosed garage I can make into my workshop haha. This will be our space to put down roots again, have a solid foundation and a place to feel truly safe and at home
Futhermore, its all mine! And it will stay that way! I will never put myself in a situation where I am faced with splitting everything and starting from scratch again. Also my daughter wont ever have to have her whole life uprooted again!
I can decorate it exactly how I want it. No compromises, no seeking permission, no loss of agency in my own home. I am excited for that.
Counting down 30 days until settlement when I get my keys. Will be the first day of my new life 😁
Just wanted to share some hope with yall. Proof that it does get better, but you have to do the work! This place really helped my through the early stages of my separation and I really appreciate it. To all guys at the start of the journey, keep going! You'll get through this. You can do it. You are enough and you deserve happiness.
