Lots happening in your life RockJC! When I moved out I felt relieved and felt a new chapter in my life was about to begin. Some feel guilty when they feel a sense of relief but, if you did, it's perfectly normal. As far as clothes, my ex and i made up a budget for how much would be spent yearly on the kids clothing. She kept track of it and I submitted whatever bills I had and she would do the same. We tally up expenses each month and split the costs. Sometimes she owes me and sometimes I owe her. Part of effective co-parenting is putting aside the anger, hurt etc and concentrating on making the kids transition as healthy as possible. That can unite rather than divide.
Good luck and congrats on making your big move. I know how difficult it is. All the best.
