Help me act AS IF, Thread 4

[newnamenewlife]

Thank you all. You help keep me afloat. It's so surreal, all of it. We are going away as a family this weekend--skiing. H & I were going through our ski stuff, chatting, talking with the girls about where we'll eat dinner when we're there, joking and being silly. It feels like nothing is wrong, or at least that we've got a workable situation--but H is still determined to leave.

It's going to be a weird weekend. We are going to a place with so many memories and I'm going to act as if. It feels almost cruel to do this to the kids--to have a fun family weekend and then at some point in the next few months we will try to explain to them that we're separating. How will this make sense to them?
