Update:

My W got the legal documents for separation I sent late last week. In these documents, the separation gives her everything I thought she wanted. She obviously spent the weekend contemplating them deeply. She was quite disraught when I talked to her just now. I think these documents hit her like a brick......reality has struck. Her last comment as she had to hang up due to tears was: I don't have a job, I don't have anything.....

Not sure how to handle this. I want to help her, to protect her. But this is what SHE wants. HER choice. How do I proceed?
