Thanks guys. BTM, that means A LOT coming from someone with your tenure. I feel like I am pretty much beyond this now and think I have completely detached from W. It is surprising to me how fast that happened once I finally came to my senses. It seems that it should be MUCH harder letting go of a 23 year relationship. I really don't know anything else except this. I have finally decided that this IS my life and I am going to be happy with whatever life deals me. I know I will gat through and have a good life.
It has really helped that my kids have been so good about this. They seem to have their heads on straight about all of this so far, but the tough part will come now that I am actually out of the home and they have to split time. They seem very prepared to do it though and it helps A LOT that I managed to find a great new home for us to live in.
