HB, I understand that there are reasons you want to move out. Give yourself sometime to think it over, though. I don't know how you are dividing up child living arrangement. But whoever has the kids more may want to stay in teh same house? On the psychological side, I think having him move out (for real this time) seems more like he is abandoning the family, rather than you leaving the family. That's how I would feel. Of course there are many other factors to consider. Good luck with this process.
Hang in there. Great that you have a good group of friends to support you. Sounds like his mind is set (for now). Which means you will have to go with the flow (but can do SLLLLLLOWWWLLY). You are doing great in not asking him for any help at all. Treat it like he is truly GONE.
