l Slowly but surely you are pushing ahead putting new financial and emotional agreements in place. Maybe you will feel a touch uncertain because you do not relish change, but there is a distinct breath of fresh air blowing through your home and family life. Use this chance to tactfully but firmly state your demands. So not be forceful, just speak your truth and find ways of persuading those close to be just as straightforward, where there is a will there is a way. You know you no longer wish to sweep anything under the carpet. »
