Depression

Well, I am now deep in depression. Full tilt. Crying intermittently.

Talked with the ex last night. She says they have to be in AL on 9/12/16 and will leave before then to find a place to live. Maybe by 9/5 or earlier.

She also says they are not sure if they will even like it there, so will be renting a house for a year until they decide. Not much point in me moving there if it winds up they don't like it and move back. 

So, focusing on fixing up the house seems fairly pointless at the moment. I will continue doing so but asking myself why. 

Guess I should be happy I am not working at the moment. I can't even think clearly. 

Had a longer than usual discussion with the ex last night. Told her it would impact me less if they said they were moving to Canada. 

She had no idea just HOW different the culture in Alabama is from any place any of them have ever lived. The blatant racism and stratification. I explained that manners are not only a good thing there but mandatory. That's one that daughter will really have to be on her toes about. She's never rude but she doesn't exactly use old fashioned manners. I did not tell the ex that they probably teach Creationism as science in school. 

Right now I am finding it impossible to find a positive in any of this.
