Orich, This is a great opportunity to shine. Establish some boundaries and consistency in your family. Your kids need this now more than ever. One thing I did was to establish custody. Easy for me as I am primary cause she left the kids. I think you are in the same house (good!). You may want to establish regular responsibility custody. If you haven't already, establish a schedule when you will be 100% responsible for taking care of the kidos. Feeding, dressing, bathing, taking them to school, all the maintenance associated with a 5 and 3 year olds. This is a win - win for you and your W. Gives you a chance to bond with your kidos while showing changes in yourself. For your W it gives her a much needed rest from the associated kid related stress.
