thanks Faith, I don't think a woman has ever said I'm "tough", just a few men...but frankly I figure, why waste time? People here are usually doing things that are not working and therefore need to change their approach even more than typically.

Anyhow, AJM, you are gaining clarity and with that, will eventually come peace.

You sound strong and as if you are putting you & the kids first too.

BTW, I loved your h's question.... he has no idea how he could get you to stay? Really? Okaaayyyy

I agree with you about not saying "uh, yeah get a court order" b/c he probably could. Not necessarily going to work if you can make the legit argument for the move, b/c with the kids and having family to support you as a single mom, but he might be able to stop you, so why give him that idea?

SIGH...

I still think there's a chance he'll have an awakening but for him, it will take the loss of you and the kids before it happens.

A month or 5 later, he'll drive by the house and you won't be there and he'll slap his forehead and say "WTH?"

Whether he tells you this remains to be seen. But if he can't do that, do you want to hear about all his doubts and questions, or just when he KNOWS what he wants? I'm guessing the latter.

I hope you keep posting b/c people need to see people like you who WILL MAKE IT no matter what. And you will.
