Hey all I ’ve been a member of this sub for several years. I have been separated in-house for more than 2 years now, gathering the money and especially courage to leave.

For years I wrote my thoughts and torn feelings in a journal. As a sort of therapy. It gradually inspired me to write and subsequently publish a novel that details the travails of a man living in an in-house separation arrangement.

Writing this book has been cathartic for me, helping my me process my trauma. It doesn’t solve anything but putting it out there somehow seems to lighten my load.
