well in brief, he came back after a short separation 2 years ago, but he never really came home, we didn't do any work together, he says he tried, but ???? did he really??? anyway 2 weeks ago he told me he was no longer interested in reconnecting but would stay until I finished school in '10, well this hasn't been working too stressful, I came to the conclusion today that if he didn't want to work on us, then I couldn't handle the arrangement. Tonight in counseling he said he doesn't want to reconnect so I said then he needs to move out, he said he came prepared to ask for a separation.

I am very sad, can't say in shock, but very sad, our daughter figured it out tonight, but we still need to tell our son, she was sad

he left tonight to stay with his sister, but will be back in the morning to help get the kids ready for school. I suppose he will start moving stuff, as that is the plan. I don't really know. He is being selfish, he doesn't want me to be angry, he doesn't want to face my family, I asked them to come over for me when I got home, and apparently my Mom gave him a dirty look, so he asked me to make them leave, I did against my better judgement, and then he left the house so there goes my support.

I am worried about how this will effect my kids, short term and long term, I am scared, I am sad, I am hurt, I am lost
