He's been saying let her go. I agree, and I think I'm letting her go.

He's also said, "Life is better separate." And I agree, the best chance for our R improving -- if at all -- is for us to be separate.

It just doesn't feel like it's the best thing for my kids right now. Yes, things are very cool and distant between me and my W as we live together. But we do not fight at all, and we coordinate daily activities smoothly. So, from the kids perspective, splitting up the family will be a bewildering, confusing shake-up to their stable world.

I can't get over that. But I think I'm slowly getting there.
