Has anyone been through something like this? It’s been almost 2 years since this ordeal started and I’m really at the end of my rope. Would appreciate advice from anyone who’s been through something like this before.

Spouse doesn’t know, but I booked a flight with a prepaid Visa card to the opposite coast for Friday night - don’t know if I’ll actually use it, but it feels good to have it.
A PP here who is Team OP. The idea of a trip is great and gives you something to look forward to (even if you don't do it in the end--check the airline's policy re: canceling or postponing). I know you have a DC--would DC go with you or would spouse balk at both of you suddenly leaving? Not dissing the idea of a trip, but also not sure how DC fits into it.
DC is actually in college on the coast I’d be visiting! Thinking of having a heart-to-heart with DC that weekend, but not sure if it’d be too soon - spouse may need time with DC instead depending on verdict. All I know is that I need to get away after holding down the fort for the past 2 years.
