Thanks K. Funny you should mention the extra space because that was one of the first things I thought about, was I won't have to go digging for any of my clothes anymore with all of this extra space. Not that I have a ton of clothes, but we didn't have a lot of closet space in the first place.
I don't know if I am strong and focused but I am resolved to the fact that I need to make the best of this situation for me and most importantly my two daughters. That means keeping a positive attitude, not talking badly about their mother no matter what she does (at least not in front of them), and maintaining as much stability in their lives as possible.
I know that's a pretty tall order and it may very well require the occasional "six pack" - thanks for the idea :-).
