Thanks to all for taking the time to read and respond. I don't know how to say this but in a weird way it is comforting to know that I am not the only one going thro this right now. Thanks to Michele and DB for having such a great website that enables us all to connect, console and advise each other.

I'm favoring the option of me moving into the 1 BR apt down the street from the family house. W knows I am not happy with this sitch but she acknowledges it. W and I both have experienced first hand, acrimonious D and post D sitch's w/her 1st husband and know how we don't want to behave.

Thanks again.
