I am suprised that she is so stressed still. After all it has been a 20 month separation. But now it is final and she is in a strange house - that must contribute. She does not want to be alone right now I guess, thus her wanting the kids close.
Hey Jeff - it makes perfect sense to me! See, the notion that the stress will get all better after the divorce is based on a faulty premise - that the stress and unhappiness originated from the marriage.
Sorry to break it to ya, WAS, that ain't the case - that unhappiness came from deep inside yourself, and you can run away from your spouse, but YOU are still right there.
