So a major milestone has occurred for me tonight. My wife asked me to look into applying for my own government payments to support the kids and I started the process tonight. One application is in and another will be completed as soon as I have two referees to confirm our separation. It's not how I want things to go but at this point, I need to make sure I can support myself and my wife won't have to support me, which should make her happier. It'll certainly make me happier knowing I can get by on my own. We'll see how we go.
