Wife's mental illness and hard decision

[Lifes Twists]

Thanks labug,

Surprisingly I left well last night. First time in quite a while.I think its because some of the unknown has been lifted. I also think I am more at peace with the direction now than I was a year ago when it all started. I know now the wife has to go down her own path that she has chosen to go down. I also feel I have a better handle on how far her mental illness has progressed and know she needs help that is beyond my abilities. I do wish her well.

I meet with my lawyer tomorrow. He gave me a surprisingly low retainer. He feels comfortable that a lot of the ground work is already done her lawyer will be doing a lot of catching up since he is new to the situation.

Almost all of my focus is on my girls right now. I think they are feeling better now than they have in quite a while. My next issue will be keeping them here and not thrown back into the emotional pit that is the apartment with my wife. I hope that the court will assign their primary residence with me. I should know by the end of the month.
