Haven't been here in a while. Just needed a break.
Well I am now legally separated and my XW will be out of the house by tomorrow. I know the goal here is to try and save our M and after trying my best there was no way that was going to happen. The last year plus has been hell for me. Even when I thought we were piecing I've learned she never stopped looking for OM. She has turned into a person that I do not want to spend the rest of my life with.
In a way I am thankful it has happened because it has made me make some much needed changes in my life and has strengthened a bond between me and the children that can never be broken. They look to me more now than they do to her which I never thought was possible.
We did not go the lawyer route and mediated everything. I've kept my childhood home and have the kids 50% of the time which will turn out to be more so she can keep up her partying ways.
I am thankful and relieved its over and that I can now move forward in life in a positive direction.
