I believe Sara gave you a good advice. I think I am behind you one step, a baby step. And I had been the one pushing for action feeling something SHOULD be done, in various occasions. When you give up hope is when everything dies inside. Don't rush into things that you need a clear head to decide upon. Take your time. Take the time YOU need now. Make lists. Prioritise your needs. Figure out which things you need his consent for and which things are solely "yours". Where he is obliged to help you where you would expect him to even if he doesn't have to. Slowly build an action plan. Consider all options and protect your interests and your kids' interests. Breathe! You'll be fine. Nobody knows what the future holds for all of us. Most of us a year ago had no idea this was coming. Good things happen to good people. I believe that. Love Kalni
