I actually have something positive to say

[charliesmum]

I found an apartment, and actually got accepted.

It isn't fantastic - the rooms are a bit poky, but it's very inexpensive, and he pays the heat, and it's near Charlie's school, and on a quiet street, and has a balcony, which is kind of cool.

My brilliant friend kirathaune has already offered to help me brighten up the place, ("Hey, we can work with poky" she said) which means it will probably be amazing eventually, and yay! I have a place to live.

There's lots of sadness mixed in this. Dreams shattered, that sort of thing, but it is also a chance to start from ground zero, and try not to screw it up this time. The world is my lobster.

Yay new apartment!
Hey, not everyone gets a chance to/has the nerve to start over like this. Go you!

Congratulations!

I think this is going to be a wonderful (if a bit scary at first) new start for you. :) *Hug*

Congratulations! May you and Charlie have many happy hours there, and also, may you have fun with the de-poky-ing! (I just totally made up that word.)

I'm actually a little jealous. New beginnings are le sexay. It's going to take me some time to get to the point of going through what you are now and actually leaving, mainly because I am jobless and definitely not currently self-supporting. But I think it's the trajectory I am on, in slow-mo. Maybe 2 years to independence for me, I think.

You're doing a really brave thing. And you can deal with pokey. I'm glad you have a brilliant friend who knows how to decorate. I'm sorry you have sadness now, it's impossible not to. Hopefully, the good will start outweighing the bad very soon.

"You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around..."

Good luck and bright hopes to you and Charlie both :)

You'll make it fantastic, I'm sure! I'm very happy for you that you found a good place to live and are making positive steps.

I did the starting anew thing in November, and it was hard, but it can be done. You will be lonely, but remember, you are not alone.

I'm so happy you found a place! I hope you and Charlie have a great new start there.

Hugs!

Congratulations, and the best of luck with it.

Good luck to both of you!

I am so proud of you and excited for you to (pardon the cliche) start a new chapter of your life. You deserve this!

Oh kick-ass! I'm so glad Charlie won't have to shift schools or anything.
I'm useless with decorating, but I still owe you cookies so make sure you keep me and elfmanfan posted as to your new digs...
