Hi All,

My OH had the second interview where apparently they asked the same questions as when he was arrested and forensics are apparently still going through everything. His bail was extended again. Financially I'm still completely dependent on him so from that point of view it's good to have more time.

The living in limbo is so hard though. I'm not really sure what to plan for. I'm self employed and my business took a major hit because I was off work for more than a year with a life threatening illness plus another year to recover from the treatments. I'm only now just hitting my stride at work so I can do with the time to try and earn more. I also know I can't stay with him. We've not really discussed this other than I've said I can only offer friendship at this point and I'm only focused on getting through this. I'm mindful he has no one else and he's been suicidal so I don't want to push to formally end our relationship.

I just don't know what to plan for..do I take on a part time job ontop of my 40+ hour/week job? Besides trying to look after my health, can I cope with 2 jobs while raising our child, looking after the house, etc.? Do I make plans to move?

This is such a mess. I'm trying to take it one day at a time and for the most part I'm okay as I okay as I can be but I do have to face the bigger decisions looming.

If anyone has any magical (lol) advice, I'd be grateful.

Thanks
