What a supportive community this is! I hope you’re both having a good day today.

Anita – not only does your reply remind me that my experience is valid, but thank you for sharing your experience with me. I’m going to save this forum discussion on my computer for next time I need to be reminded that I’m not alone. I hope things are going well for you on your journey too.

Inky – thanks. I hadn’t thought of courchsurfing (I’m a little anxious around people, but that could be good for me). I could consider finding a sublet if I’m hesitant to commit to a twelve-month lease.
