I see this divorce happening, and have to prepare like it is. Protect myself and the girls and stay friends with my H for their sake.
Hey lwb-
I'm right there at the same place. There are times that part of me just wants to be an angry, bitter, vindictive person to my H. Then I stop and think......that's just not me. After all that he's done.....that's still just not me. It's going to be hard, but I feel the same. I need to make things as peaceful as possible for D4. It's a tough, tough spot to be in when your H has left you and shattered your marriage. Yes, we're all here because there were problems beforehand, but nothing that couldn't be worked out. Our H's just aren't the type of people that can hunker down, stick with it and do the work that it would take to make that happen. It's easier for them the just walk away.
I'm glad that he's going to help you with the house and I really hope that all works out for you.
And for the helmet, I suggest something with flames!
Have a good day lwb!
