I'm so sorry to hear that. Sam and I went through a hellish experience with
a "poly divorce" of sorts with our housemates four years ago this month (in
fact, it began almost exactly four years ago, the day after Thanksgiving,
with no prior warning). We're still healing, emotionally. I wish you the
best in getting back on your feet quickly and as painlessly as possible. I
wish we could help in more concrete ways, as well!

Namaste,
