I'm still feeling wiped out but I am improving slowly.
Steve still wants to move somewhere different!
Nowhere in particular, just somewhere different.
When I decided I'd had enough of living in the boat I gave him the option of staying, he chose not to!
Yes, money will be tight when we move but money has been tight before.
I'm entitled to claim more benefit which I will do once we've moved.
I will go back to shopping at Aldi and Lidl once we're settled too.
I really hope we can make a go of it.

Good for you for sticking to your plan. We lived on a boat for a while a few years back and I know full well that it's not all plain sailing - excuse the pun-
Hopefully if you can get through this tricky transition phase things will be more settled and easier for you both - hang on in there!

For your physical and mental health, you are doing the right thing. Stick to your plan and even things like going to Lidls means you will have some so ial contacts. I think about you often as you have so much to bear. Catriona
Hi Hester,
How about using distraction strategies on Steve? Is there not some hobby or club that he could join to take him out and about now that you are based in one place again? I was thinking about the Stroke Association or a mens group. They have them round here and men seem to like meeting up and having a good moan about some grievance or other lol, I dont know how bad Steve is after the stroke but having read your posts for years he always seemed to be active doing things can you not send him round to family to do bits of DIY. I know this might seem patronising but after being married for a long time I know that most blokes need to be kept busy lol

Sending love and best wishes for the future
Stick to your guns , i know its hard work getting sense out of treacle brained other halfs
You can do it! We're all rooting for you
Keep stocking to your plans and good luck
If anyone can make a go of it you can. Hopefully he will settle soon, but he's a man and they are a law unto themselves.
I think you will do well once you are settled. No more worry about whether you will have enough (water, electric and fuel) and life itself will be more settled. You will find that your mind will be more available without all the housing worries and maybe you can just kick Steve out for some hours every so often to get some peace.
You deserve some peace. Good luck.
I would gently suggest that you stick to your guns. If you go under, so does Steve, so you have to do all that it takes to stop yourself going under, and a little bit of kindness to yourself.
You deserve awesome things.
