Thanks Rick. The above planning though isn't the "what if" stuff... this is actual put it down in writing and send it to my W so we can discuss type planning. Actual drafting of agreements and schedules versus worry-stuff.

This morning I decided I need to take a driver's seat in this fiasco. Leaving it all to her isn't working and all I get is anger from her and constant changes of direction. She's committed to it so I'm trying to protect myself, my S, my SS & SD as best I can, and get some agreements in place. Maybe if we can have some plans down she can see that she has all the space she wants and can deal better. I feel like I'm caretaking again, but this lack of detail is driving me nuts.

And April isn't all that far away really frown And the kids will know by February, if not sooner. We need to have specific answers for their questions.

It's just so sad. It feels like I'm the navigator on the Titanic and not only have I spotted the iceberg, but now I'm figuring out what's the best way to run right into it.
