New opportunities, new city

1

Well the biggest update from me,I’ve been in a shelter for about a month and now I’m going to a new city with my partner, starting anew and I’m so nervous and excited because well one my partner is older than me and I expect judgment based on how he looks,but his so emotionally intelligent and encouraging and kind and blows me away with how open he is to cultivate relationships with my family even help me be more open and close with them!

I myself see this as an opportunity for self betterment and improving my circumstances tremendously and I feel secure to know I’m not doing it alone!

My only other concern is finally getting distance from an ex,friend I’ll always care about because I know he may not be happy because I’m leaving with this new fella,and that relationship for over 10 yrs become emotionally draining, even physically draining because I always felt obligated to engage sexually (not to be tmi) and the feelings on he felt was enjoyment but I felt like why and that sucked because if i voiced that,it would be brushed off but I know the distance is needed no matter how much I care because I’ve been ready to do something for me without guilt and move on to this new chapter of my life!

If you read this far thank you for reading and hearing me you’re appreciated :butterfly:

I also think getting away from that friend sounds like a healthy choice. :heart::people_hugging::star2:

Sounds like you’ve got a plan for your next few steps - that’s great! It’s always a few steps at a time, just like a tree growing: one leaf, one branch at a time.

Best of luck in your new place. You know your goals and you know you’re not alone, personally or in recovery.
