T, at this point I wouldn't say anything about him moving out. I think he will start to figure that something is going on. You are about 1 week away. I would have some boxes but would not pack for him. I think having the kids out is a great plan. Can your dad be there with you to make sure there are no issues?

It could well get worse. No one knows what he will do. Like yours, mine gets very nice when everything is going his way. Very helpful, even a little kind. The minute things start going south for him, he is a real jackass.

No more excuses T. Soccer is an excuse. There is always going to be another time you see him. It's like my diet. There's always tomorrow. Don't give him any more tomorrows. He's had enough

File, have him served, have dad at home, have kids out, have boxes but don't help him.

I would love for you to take the sessions and work out with a coach what to say if he does immediately come begging. I'm most concerned that is what will happen and you will be in this for another round, another cycle. I don't need them, I know what I want. Even my lawyer can't help me at this point. And, if I want more, I can get them. Thankfully resources are the one issue I don't have. Tell me you'll take them and let me call the office and see if they will give them to you. Please? I think having a script would really help you.
