I'm so sorry BobbiJo. I understand your decision and I support you in what you decide to do.
One piece of advice, please do not speak to Dan even one more time about what you have decided to do. He will tailspin now that you have laid that out on the table. He will probably come begging. Don't allow him in. You need time and space and so does he.
In saying that, please don't rush into filing either. Give this time to sink in for both of you. Definitely keep separating EVERYTHING, but don't rush to file. Unless your are 100% sure that is what you want, don't do it. It's the final nail in the coffin, no matter what anyone else says about it. It's amazing what a piece of paper can do to a mind.
I know I don't know your full situation or your inner most thoughts BBJ, but having 'known' you this long here, I have seen how you have fought. You are a courageous woman and you will make it out the other side of this. Bruised, but not broken.
Love to you and your sweet kids.
