As I Turn The Next Page

So far so good but what's next? We have made it about 3 months now with the in-laws, some close calls and a lot of stress. It finally looks like they found a house of their very own and now things are in motion. Last night, in a very awkward meeting with the real estate lady, Beth got the final phase of things rolling on getting the house we live in. This was one of the last reasons Beth has held back from exposing her "true identity", to her parents. This fear that they had some control over our living arrangements which could be taken away in an ultimatum. For some reason we can stand strong and face the rest of the world head on, yet cower like beaten dogs to our parents. This should be out of our way, yet I still wonder what's next? We continue to progress with many goals this year, yet I feel like there is something looming over us. I don't know whether officially coming out will relieve the tension I feel holding us back. How much longer can her fear of this one last challenge dictate her actions? Will she give it all up, lay it all out in the open or not? It seems like we've sort of done things rather backwards. My agenda now is as follows: house, truth, marriage. Whether it goes as planned - "you never know" (as Chance says).
