KAW voiced his opinion three times so if I agree is that 10 out of 10?
Your friend doesn't understand your position, only you and the rest of us here. The last couple of weeks will suck regardless of how well prepared you are, remember mine gave me a moving out date 11 months in advance. Take care of yourself and your boys, being seperated does suck but it is a million times better than putting up with a MLCer in the house.
