Had our first meeting with both our lawyers today. It was emotionally pretty rough for me. And then I came home and treated my daughter and me to pizza for dinner, and spent some time playing with her. We had a lovely evening. I am losing a lot but man oh man, he is losing the most by far.
I am very scared for my financial future, and terrified I will have to leave my home (because I don't know if I can afford an appropriate home in this area), but I have my daughter 5 nights a week and I get to see her so much more than he does. I am blessed and grateful for that.
D4 has finally started asking questions about divorce-- why doesn't daddy live here? are you divorced? I don't want to say anything negative to her about her father, but I don't want to lie or say something that doesn't feel like it matches my values. I've read about what MWD says to say, and I've tried that. But I don't know how to answer all her questions in a way that feels respectful to her/him and also true to what I value. Any words of wisdom from those who have been there?
