Game Point

W and I had a long discussion tonight. She told me that she needs 3700 by the 14th to secure her rental and that she was going to talk to the kids this weekend. She wanted to know if I wanted to be there and I said yes. W said that she was going to tell them "Mom and Dad aren't getting along so there are going to be some changes. Mom will move to a different house. This is how WE have decided to deal with this problem"

I corrected her: This is how YOU have decided to deal with the problem. I will tell the kids that I had a different solution (dump OM and start working on M but I won't tell them that).

I asked her why she couldn't wait a couple months until we had a better financial situation and kids are out of school, and her answer was "there is never a good time for this". For whatever reason she wants to do it before kids get out of school, and I think it is because she wants to have her free time during the day before summer comes in the new place. The bummer is she is not thinking of the kids at all - S18 graduation is coming up and we were planning a big party for him. This will be awkward. D17 is getting her confirmation (Catholic) also in the next month.

I am stunned that she is actually going to go through with it. However it is the only choice given her direction (not willing to end it with OM and staying only for the kids, not the M).
