[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 314500, member: 1991"] The ear buds - what I've found works best, perhaps even better than iPod headphones, is the earbud type with the little silicone bubble on them that allows them to really nestle in to the ears effectively. They do allow other sound to intrude, though, unless you put the volume up. But headphones would do the same. The ear buds are much smaller, easier to pack away and shove in a pocket. I got a small flexible cord thingie so I can wind the cable around the thingie and it all tucks away neatly. Just don't leave the jack plugged in to the socket when not in use because stresses will brak the cable at that point. I've found I get longer life spans from these if I unplug when not in use, just leave it attached via the cable tidy's keyring attachment. Moving stuff out slowly - good idea. Don't feel you're being judged for not marching out immediately. I've seen too many discussion on this (including on Oprah with women who were in imminent danger of their lives) to not know that a good exit plan is essential. And that is exactly what you're doing. This bloke sounds like he's into scapegoating. His life isn't perfect so someone must be to blame. You're handy. His son is being taught these habits. neither will change. WSM, I'll say again - I'm glad you're out and staying out. You were doing what you could in terms of planning your exit. I've not been able to stay as much in touch as I'd like, things have been difficult here for many reasons, some of which I can't talk about here. Almost over now. Again - keep your head down, work towards your exit, gather copies of vital papers etc and keep them away from the house, then on Exit Day, make sure you're ready and just go. Or stay and throw him out, whichever it is to be. Sounds like the plan, at least for now, is GO. When it gets bad just keep telling yourself, "Almost there. One more box. One more week," or whatever it is. Marg [/QUOTE]
