7 Years...

So yesterday was the 7th anniversary of "the shattering" for us... the day Billy and Steve came to the house to accuse me (Zor) of catfishing people and faking being other people.... bombing our brain, our life, and everything I and the entire system knew of each other.

Later he'd call the rest of us "demons" or "demonic possession" or "demonic influence"...

The wife still hates "them" for existing, distrusts us.... all of us...

What a mess.

I feel like this year will be a change... I find myself wanting to find an apartment and looking at plaves away from home, "just in case" of course, and looking at what we'd do post.... this...

Life is weird sometimes, eh?

That’s awful of them to do that.

I hope you manage to find somewhere to move to where you can all be happier.

What you are about to do is hard and scary but you will find that once you are out you will be able to heal so much faster.

If I could have had any advice on how to leave I would say get the littles involved. Get them excited about the idea of a new apartment before you need to go. Have them plan out their own corner that is just theirs. How will you decorate? Are their stuffes going to be on shelves or on a chair? Maybe a hamock? Get them excited about having their own space. Because trust me once you are in that new space letting them have 10 or 15 minuets to just have fun in their freedom every now and then will help your body cope. We are after all passengers in the same physical body and the hormones brain chemicals dopermine etc that they produce simply as a byproduct of enjoying themselves will be super handy when the adult parts of you are needing to navigate your new normal.

7 years is a long time for no change. The fact that you zor have reached the stage of planning your out is a major success in self love. Good luck on your home hunting and don't hesitate to dm.

I intend to try and get everyone's feedback on the places we look at, as best I can. We don't have the greatest communication sometimes and sadly very little control over who is out when, much less being able to draw certain people out/near... Someday, we hope, we'll be that more connected and cooperative and functional.
