I'm right there with you man. Co-habitating with a cheating, MLC, lunatic. But I wont be the one to kick out my kid's mother. That's the decision I have made and... Yes it probably is the hardest thing I will ever have to do. I'm so much happier and at peace when she's not around.
I would steer clear of any D talk with the kids. They don't really want to hear it, 'cause it's not comforting. The only thing they should be sure of is that, mommy and daddy are "very sorry" about it, and none of it is the fault of or because of the kids.
You'd be surprised how many youngsters blame themselves for mommy and daddy splitting up.
Now.... Quit observing W on FB or anywhere else. It'll just make you miserable. Get on with your business and try and enjoy life. Let her go man.
If she's anything like my W, the lovely creature I married is GONE! DISAPPEARED, VANISHED, FENITO.
The headcase I'm living with now? I don't really want her.
