Sure I'll take a superboot! Good luck with the filing....it's pretty painless.
FEAR has held me stagnate for a long time. I think it does for most of us on here.
I am not bothered by being alone. I have spent much of the marriage alone as STBXH has always traveled vey much during the marriage. I am aware it's not the same but there isn't a void to fill because he's not here. The kids and I are used to that so it's very normal for him to not be here. They don't miss him and I don't miss him. For the few times they spend with him they hate it about 90% of the time. Because he moans, lectures, stresses, and complains constantly. My kids don't like being around unhappy people. So they would rather not go.
After the D is settled I won't make them go as the decision will be solely up to them. By that time FFG will be introduced to them and i won't have to "sneak" around to spend time with him.
