1313, on a side note to you - see a lawyer asap! Your W has no right to change the locks to the marital home and your residence, or deny you access to your pet. Don't just take it!
NYGal, I am so sorry that you are on this roller-coaster. It's not fair, and it brings you back to the pain over and over again. I think you did the right thing, it's the only way to go for you to find lasting peace. Anything else is just a short-lived band-aid.
I also wish your friend would not have called W, but it's nice that you have caring friends who want to take care of you, even if it is somewhat misguided.
Try to remember back to what you were doing before W approached you and expressed doubts. I think you were going to a game with a beautiful friend? Dressing sharp and having fun with your own group? Can you find back to that place again?
