First you push, pull, nag, whatever it takes to convince them they are moving.. Then if not.. Plan B.. YOU MOVE.. YOU are deciding....
I get what you are saying. What about the kids thinking that I am the one leaving them? That is the other big reason I have not left. She can't afford the house, insurance, gas, utilities, sitters for the kids, etc. I would be stuck paying everything and paying my own bills.
I guess, with kids, it's best to try and stay. I am building up to filing myself. Then we will have to work everything out like it or not.
