My WW and the Great Sandi2 Experiment - part 2

[Chris73]

My "firm, philosophical foundation" is that my kids are the most important thing in this process. I don't want them to be uprooted. They are settled in school and with their friends.

My W will never agree to leave the house. And I've vowed not to either. But we will have to come to some sort of agreement as part of the divorce settlement. If she won't budge on moving out and letting me stay in the house with the kids, the only other options are for her to stay with the kids, or sell the house and everyone moves. I can't do that to them.

I will be much happier with a fresh start and a new place to live. I just started looking at townhomes that I could afford and actually got a little excited.

But again, this is all contingent upon:

1. We can come to a mutual agreement on how to split up the family

2. She gets help for her drinking problem.

#2 is non-negotiable. If she won't make an attempt to get her drinking under control then I guess it's lawyer time.
