Ok, my W's items are packed and in the garage. This ordeal has been very difficult. I've decided I'm not going to split all of D's stuff right now but just give W what she needs for the next few days until we can figure out custody.
I'm currently staring at the clock waiting for 2 pm to get here. I've also been thinking about what I need to do to make this a 180 opportunity. She didn't expect me to stand firm on not leaving the house and having the police as the 3rd party, so I have that going for me right now.
However, I do think she expects me to be upset in one way or another -- either crying and depressed or yelling at her. So, I have to do neither. I have to be "normal" and be strong. If I want to break down, I can, but not until she's gone. Then, and only then can I cry.
I am going to ask to see my D because I miss her very much. Not sure how that one will go, however.
I'll keep you all posted after the exchange happens. RTL
