Ripken - LRT with a WW and divorce filed #3

[Ripken8]

Talk went as well with the kids as possible. They seem resiliant, no questions. Didn;t discuss D or house going up for sales, just that we'll be in different places, that we love them, that it's not their fault and 50/50 split time. Afterwards ww and I talked for about 1 1/2 hours. She said that even though she wanted the D, it's still hard on her. Said she had a breakdown Monday and cried all day. Then said she would rather not be at the house tonight when I pack, because it's too hard to see. Finally, she wanted to talk about the temporary payments and was saying she would agree to what my lawyer and I proposed for a counter offer. She was much more agreeable and communicating with me, when normally her MO is to avoid anything uncomfortable. I really feel I didn't pursue or give in. When she cried and talked about how hard it is, I STFU and didn't validate much.

Today I started to get triggered by small things and then try and bring myself back. I have an opportunity to work on me and make myself better. She is still seeing OM, she still is pursuing D. Nothing I can do about that. Plan now is to go dark, GAL and keep a PMA.
