It's really hard, she wants me to move out, but I can't move out. I need to stay because I'm not ready to leave the kids and I've got to try to protect my legal interests. Detaching is ridiculously hard to do right now because I don't have any freedom. I can mentally detach...I know I have no control how she acts and when/if she accepts my apologies and sees any changes. I can accept that if she is really done then I have to move on. I just can't show her any real detachment because I'm stuck and she's pursuing me w/ all of her anger.

D talk has slowed, a lot.
Gradually working on things together. Still separate bedrooms.
Slow and Steady wins the race.
