No sense of relief whatsoever. It all culminated in a matter of 18 hours from revelation to separation. I was devastated, but even at that I had no idea how much worse it was going to get.

We hid it from my daughters for the first 30 days pretty well. D5 has been pretty vocal and very sad about it and D7 has internalized it. Now, they are much better off today than they were 2 months ago but they still don't like it, it still makes them upset, and they still chide their mother about it. I stay completely out of their relationship too. The W has to be the one to answer to them for that. I refuse to minimize it or play like I agree with it. My job as their father is to ensure they treat their mother lovingly and respectfully, even while angry.

I um not up to snuff on your situation but in mine I refuse to leave the house and I pretty much refused for her to take the children from the house. There are 4 of us in this marriage and only one wants out. So the one that wants out should be the one that leaves, in my opinion.
