SD - I'm a newcomer here, and I draw courage from guys like you. I have a WAW with an OM and I'm devastated, and I don't even have to deal with the horror of being separated from my kids. BTW does the OM happen to live in Texas? From my experience so far, having an OP in the picture gives incredible fuel to the drive for divorce, at least in my W's case. She wants to make her A permanent ASAP! Fortunately, in CA it takes six months.
Anyway, I agree that your separation is an opportunity for progress. Like everyone here tells me, you need to take the time to focus on yourself, GAL, and detach emotionally as much as you can from the W. When you've got kids, this is very hard; but needed.
