Yesterday W and I had talk about S and how soon tell kids. We had originally said not to tell them until summer after exams were over but the tension in house you could cut with a knife. So we spoke of telling them this weekend and W moving out soon after. (week or so?) I told her I preferred to work on M but if her decision is to leave I'd help her pack.
After a few hours of thought on this I had some reservations and told W that I'd like to revisit this again rather than come to some rash decision which has huge impacts. I spent the night praying on it and still haven't come to any decision.
I know this would be easier for W and me if she were to be gone next week but the kids will be a wreck. I'm thinking of putting off the decision until I get a better perspective on things. I figure that once the kids are told you cannot take it back and change the decision. I just want to make the best decision for their well-being rather than mine.
