I totally agree with you. I think the kids are going to hear "Papa's leaving." Period. He thinks, hey, we've been switching nights and weekends for months---no big change.
I'll be interested to hear what the kid C says. I know H isn't listening to me. When he said, "These people don't know us. I want to talk to someone who knows the kids," and I said, "Like whom?" he said, "Um, like you?" Ugh. Like he's listening to me!
But they're definitely going to feel it big-time. I know that. H doesn't. Thank god he's moving out instead of me.
My question for H is, "What do we say when they ask why?" (we'd be happier living apart). Still don't know the answer to that one.
I know this sucked for you (and Nomo). I imagine it's going to suck for me, too. Who ever had a "good" talk like this? Ugh again.
Thanks for posting, Heim. Hope you don't hold my 2x4 against me, as it was meant well.
