Despite the recent warming ... or maybe because I think it maybe lulling me into an emotionally complacent place, all the while my W still has her heart set on a divorce ... I think I need to start preparing myself for a divorce in a more methodical way. Not just fill out the DIY divorce paperwork itself... go further: I need to spend a lot of time preparing mentally and emotionally how to deal with the loss for myself, and witnessing and helping my kids experience the loss. Probably pick up some books on helping kids through a divorce. Maybe there are some online forums the focus on divorce and kids. I also need to take concrete steps for finding and establishing a new house/condo/whatever.
