You are experiencing peace in your home. You have adjusted to the new normal and life is beginning to really feel good & peaceful. You may still have struggles but you are no longer in crisis mode.

Your heart is starting to heal. The phrase "your heart can break without it breaking you" would describe you at this point. You are rebuilding yourself inside and out. You may feel loneliness as a single mom but your heart has accepted that you have a new path and it is not with your ex.

Your kids have adjusted their their new normal also. They may have difficulties in their relationship with their dad due to his choices and how things are handled. But you are experiencing peace and joy in your days, even in the chaos of their busy lives.

Your thoughts and your heart have aligned in this stage. You are no longer thinking so much about your ex, the past and what happened. If you are still struggling with these thoughts deep down, you no longer want to be thinking about it as much and you know that it is time to move forward.

You unbuckled yourself from the emotional rollercoaster in this stage. You are becoming less likely to be triggered by your ex. You are taking responsibility for your emotions and you have more good days than bad.
