Thank you J,

Lots of great advice there. Practical - I must admit I did broach the subject last night. This has to be handled delicately as I said I was not prepared to pay two sets of house bills and the mortgage and the rent. As she has limited income this is one area where she is completely clouded. I need to clarify who pays what, especially as my job finishes next Friday. Every other area of our relationship is driven and focused.

Emotionally - I must not get drawn into an altercation. I have to withdraw and not engage into conflict for the childrens sake (I will have to keep repeating this too myself). This also allows me to try and prepare a response to her without getting emotive. (Hard to do). I am moving out on the 10th April for 11 weeks and then she is moving to her parents house until mid August. From April I need a strategy to work on - going dark or grey because of the children, detachment, whatever it takes to remove the reason for her rage ME.
