I fear that there will be no busting of this divorce. She is too far gone and it seems that this is going to play out with the divorce finalized in about a month.

A couple questions for the group. One is that I am at the point of having to decide on whether I can/should keep the house. Curious of other experiences. Regrets either way? Positives/negatives you've experienced? We have a nice home and am looking into the finances of keeping it; any creative financing methods you've used?
I would have to buy a "lesser" house; any problems with kids moving? An additional consideration for me is I have no family nearby & many neighbors have been very helpful with watching my kids for a portion of workday, are friendly with kids, etc.

2nd question is that I've pretty well decided that my spouse has a strong narcissistic component to her personality. Antecdotally, do walk away spouses tend to have such a personality?

Lastly, in good news, I have secured 50/50 physical custody, which is best I could hope for and was my top priority.
