Hi all. Thanks for the posts. All ok. Seemed to have had a bit of a shift in mindset of late

Like us all I thought I had a decent M. I worked hard , etc but didn't spend the time with the family that I should have and while I can make excuses I have accepted that I played a mani part in the end of the M

The situation now is I'm a single dad , working full time and kept very busy most of the time. I'm very lucky to have my children with me 24/7 and obviously that brings many challenges

I do miss the woman I thought W was but in reality that women never existed. That's been hard to accept but I do feel I'm there now Again I fully realise that I was far from perfect and was given warning signs that I ignored

While this has been the hardest time of my life I have come through the worst and feel now is the time to make the changes to remove W as completely from my life as I can I appreciate that we have 4 children together but I think it' will be better in the long run for us all.

My plan is to rent a home for the kids and myself and then sell the family home

I can move closer to work and make my own life much easier and start to build a new life freer from W. Nothing will happen for a couple of months as I want the plan to settle in my mind fully and not do anything hasty

The people on this board deserve so much more than they currently have re Rs and while I applaud the ones who are standing , I also understand the ones that want to move on.

Thanks everyone. Rd
