Why can't Mrs. Puppy go to her parents house instead of Mr. Puppy? When I got separated, we were in the same postion, to where the only available free bed was at my mother's house. My ex-h *could* have been the one to go and stay there, but it seemed silly and rediculous for HIM to stay with MY mother. So it was me who moved out.
After all the dust settled and the D was over, I got the house back. So don't assume that she will have an upper hand in getting the house if you are the one to move out.
I think she ought to go and stay with mom and dad for awhile. Who else could really support her and understand her? It was actually a great bonding experience between my mother and I when I was separated and staying with her. She had fun with it actually, like an extended slumber party. Of course she also had her own pain and fears about my possible divorce, what the kids were going through, etc...so it actually helped us both emotionally for me to stay with her.
