I forgot to ask, how are your kids holding up? They're around the same ages as mine. I just don't know what to do about that. That is the one thing that is consistantly making me feel hopeless and distraught.
My kids seem to be doing ok so far, but not much has changed for them since we are still living together and acting civily toward each other, at least for the most part.
They know this was W's idea. They asked me early on about missing Mom (sleeping in my room) and I told them I did. When I planned events I invited her to come along and she would say no. She would plan events and when they asked if I was coming along she would say no. She is sleeping in the guest room, not me. My D asked me to confirm that it was Mom's idea, but I said I wouldn't confirm it. On Friday, my son said, Mom is making a lot of bad decisions lately, isn't she?. I have apologized to each of my kids a number of times that this is happening to them.
They know what is going on, but seem to be dealing well so far. It will be much harder on them once we are actually separated. I don't know how long that is going to take, but I am working toward getting there.
