Email I just received from W-

Hi - I hope you are having fun with the kids... This is so hard! I want you to know that I don't think you need to leave the house immediately, unless something is happening that I don't know about. I guess I don't completely understand why you wouldn't look for an apartment and keep the dog with you? Many, many apartments take dogs. It is easy for me to forget about him, with everything on my plate, but I would hate to see you two separated. Or even, like you mentioned before, rent a basement from someone or a shared place that would take the dog?

I don't want you to be miserable- I don't want that for any of us!!! Our kids deserve the very best parents that we can give them. I just know that unless you can be the family's financial rock and backbone every day, week, month and year from now until forever, that I can't return to what we had. And I don't even know what you are thinking about us?

Don't rush to leave the house, unless you have to, find a place for you and the dog... and the kids.



My thoughts-

From a financial point of view, I think it’s important for me to move out of the house. The reason I am considering renting the room is to help gain financial traction.

Would you consider the email I just received positive? I don’t know what to make of this? I don’t know how to handle it. It could be right in front of me and I might not see it. This is the type of communication I haven’t seen since we separated!
