First response to fig, bnd and Bill. I'm pretty sure that I'm OK. We have a signed divorce agreement. My name is on the deed. XW moved out and has her own residence. Still, man was she pissed.

I had my kids for two dinners. Now, I have my long stretch. She has them this weekend, Thurs thru next Monday although I may get them for a few hours on her Saturday because she works and S9 has a ballgame. We'll see.

It hasn't been as bad as I thought, but, the emptiness in the house now is imposing. I have caught myself standing in the hallway on the second floor and just staring into S9's and D7's empty bedrooms. I have visions of XW painting S9's room with stars before he was born. Again..not about XW...but...about the incredible transition from that point.
