J,

I think staying in the M home is great for the kids because with everything changing in the family structure at least their home remains the same. I also insisted that we do not touch their rooms when dividing furniture.

Your W seems pretty reasonable, maybe she will work with you to allow you to keep the family home.

I am with you on not feeling sad about it. It feels great to not have to go through the stress of finding a new home!

My W is so stressed about finding a new home.
