Headed off to the family reunion solo today. W is too emotionally distraught to handle seeing my family, potentially for the last time. The decision to go or not to go was very difficult for her.

She tells me she wants to move back into our house for the summer, and does not want to start D until mid June. She wants me to refer to us as jointly divorcing each other, to which I made it clear she was divorcing me, and that I thought it was the wrong thing to do. Asked her what she would do if I decided against D, and she said she would have to file seperately. All very confusing.

I hope she can get her emotions under control over the summer. At this point, I do not know what to think.

Wish me luck this weekend. This is going to be very, very difficult.
