And of course, just as I've made this decision, I get a job offer. One that's time-sensitive. It figures.

So, be homeless but have a job in the same town w/ my W and kids. Or go live w/ my parents (w/ all of the typical problems that entails).

I got a job offer right before leaving for the separation, too. A good one. I didn't take it, so that we could separate to save our M.

And now I see the flaw in all that... separate to save our M? That is dumbest thing I've ever done.

It seems like whatever choices are presented I pick the dumbest one possible.

The reasons haven't changed for going to my parents.

My impulse was to call my W and ask her but she convinced me that taking the job before the separation was a bad idea.

And time is ticking away.
