Thanks all.

Mockers, you are right, the put off their suffering comment is a underhand dig at him, gotta be careful of them.

Lee, I think he'll still be here when we get back, just all his stuff packed an ready to go. Kind of splitting hairs, but I think I'm glad we'll have a last trip (kids & I) without answering questions about why Daddy is leaving. S7 already went into a tirade this morning why can't I go to work and Daddy come to Disney?

Opt, I must have that faith, that it will get better, the sep will do some good, for both of us.

H was in a great mood last night. Helping me pack and get ready. Very eager to get us out of the house? He told the kids, they asked many times, why can't you come? work is always the excuse. He told them that on Veterns Day (next school holiday) the three of them will go somewhere special together, just the three of them. I think he repeated it so many times so I wouldn't get any false hope.

So tonight is the start, my first adventure as a "single" mom!
