Sadly, I think this would be in a really good place right now if I hadn't been stupid enough to get into an EA. She's smarting from that and it's infinitely complicated by the fact that our kids will be starting kindergarten at the same school in less than a month.

My best option is to get him enrolled in the private school he did 4K at last year. We didn't save any money this summer by pulling him from daycare, which we would have done if we'd decided on this school earlier.

That leaves me to asking my parents for money. I just got a huge chunk from them for her bday present. She's not a huge fan of being so reliant on my family, so it's a tight rope walk right now.

I do know that if I want a prayer of saving my M, I can't have my kid at school w/ the OW's kid. If my W sees her at a school event, it'll be a fight, every time. Well, not a fight because I won't even try to defend that idiocy on my part, but it'll be a bad day.

I've come to realize, I may need to take a second job this year, I need to shift the finances of my family. Not sure what that'll be.

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