opinions on "small separation"? Read and respond?

I don't think she'll be playing house but she won't be doing without her either. GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

I try to look at this as a positive. I'm positive it's time for her to see what it's like. We actually had a "good" conversation about her possibly "not lasting the week". We'll see.

I have been doing OK on taking care of me...adequate, not great.I have put some boundaries down and made some points with spouse about what the future may hold. Again, we shall see. We all just had dinner at SIL and I got a hug when spouse arrived. But now I'm home and ain't nobody here but us DB'ers...no chicken$hit note, no nothing. I invited a friend over to visit. Wish I had a Julie Margarita to visit with!
