We are back with Margo Rose.

We left you yesterday on kind of a cliffhanger.

But to catch you up, you've got to go back and listen to Part 1.

Don't be stupid and just be tuning in now and thinking you're going to understand the story.

You understand nothing.

Go listen to Part 1.

I like to berate by listeners. They enjoy that. It's good.

I like it. So you, you were sober, but your marriage had come to the end. Yeah, yeah.

But you were doing, you were doing, okay. You guys had agreed. You were, was, I was, I was, I was, I regret it moving. I moved out in the last, in their last year of college, um, five minutes away, five minutes away. You know, and I thought I was going to come back and I thought, you know, I was wrong, you know, and I regret it more than anything else in my life because of what happened then.

Why did you move out? Were you just like, fine. I'm going to just go be on my phone.

We dealt with our different crumbling relationship for a number of years. And at a certain point, the kids were getting older.

They were even more, there was more visitation.

There were a lot of other court things that happened.

They were still legally ours, but they were split up a lot.

And my self-esteem was, was non-existent because our dynamic was such that I was

the one that was, she was the alpha dog. It wasn't her fault anymore than, you know, it was,

that's just the way we ended up. And it just got into my head that if I, it was, that's just the way we ended up. And, um, I, and it just got into my head that if I,

if I move my physical being and have my own space, um, and the kids are going to their senior

year of high school, um, it will be better. I will be a better parent. I will be a better person. I'll start working,

you know, I'll be working on my acting. I'll be working on my writing. I'll be bup, blah,

all this stuff. And it was really, it was almost like a geographic, I think. I was sober, but I thought

that thing could solve it, you know.
