Detachment, Pop-Tarts, and Hope

[techguy]

Excellent post. (I was going to abbreviate your handle, but TIT is so unfortunate)!

It makes me respect my WAW a bit more for at least leaving. While it was traumatic at first, I have found considerable peace of mind over the last few months without being exposed to her negativity and drama.

Have you thought about proposing a trial seperation to your H?

I know we all have concern about the kids. But we've been seperated for six months now. Sure, the kids would be better if we were a happily married family. But that isn't an option. The choices are two people living together in a drama filled unhappy house or two households that are at least calm. I'm pretty certain that the seperation has been good for the kids in that regard.
