Sorry, Alex....I was out for the holiday....or at least couldn't check the board.

I was thinking just maybe an 'in-house' thing where you explain that you won't initiate anything as far as the R goes...but she stays in the house. And you guys can make up your own boundaries that suit you. I was just thinking and typing at the same time. My real thought is how awful it would be to separate and go through all this during the holidays in front of the kids.

I'm mainly thinking of the kids here.

Nothing will really change for you...it just gives her a goal to work towards, or a timeline?
