I admire your resolve. I have the same, however I am also up against a very determined WAW.

She had everything arranged before the bomb; Job, support of her family (emotional and $$), new school arrangement for the kids, new car (that I bought for her, not knowing her plans), and most of all, intense, hateful, anger. She feels total justification and the few times her emotions do crack and I can breech them, as soon as she realizes she recoils and then strikes like a snake.

I have mixed feelings as to what to believe. She insists on divorce, yet her emotional reaction, anger, etc tells me she still cares to a degree. I know, believe nothing you hear and only 50% of what you see. I'm confused but determined.

Stay strong. I'll stay with you.
