Thanks for sharing your experience in this. So far my D's have been doing pretty good, actually much better than I thought, although their Mom doesn't actually move out until this weekend so we will see.
Aside from last nights drama, my W and I have been getting along pretty well the last week or so. I do believe that it's partly because I've decided to make this last week together as pleasant as possible. That could be part of the reason for last night in that it may have raised some indecision on my W's part as to whether she is making the right decision - although that is speculation on my part. Her actions show that she is still moving ahead with the move, signs the lease tomorrow and has moved funds from our money market to our checking to pay for the first month's rent.
I'm sorry that your wife decided to erase you from your home by removing the pictures. Seems a bit childish to me. I would be very surprised if my W did that, but then again, I was surprised by the intensity of the affair she is in so who really knows. I think your approach is much more healthy for your kids and one that I will take as well. Their Mom will always be part of my life's history.
