Thanks Sandi2 and that is what I agree.
The conversations are going to be avoided as much as possible and the ones we have I am going to remain on topic. I did tell her again that this is her choice.

She does know who I am and that if we get there, I will draw a line, if it is then crossed, it will result in us just turning it over to attorneys. Not what I want, but she does know that I am not afraid of using the rest of our resources to fight for what I believe is right (or wrong). I'd rather us agree, compromise as best we can, realize that neither of us is going to walk away unscathed.

The feeling in the pit of her stomach is also the fact that somewhere in her mind, she knows this is the VERY worst thing she can do for herself. She has made up her mind and is determined to see it through so she can see what life is like out there. I love her and always will. I will not be taken advantage of, I am not angry (any longer), I am truly what my name says, just sad at the situation, how it is going to affect ALL (kids and dogs included) of us and our lives.

We will survive, in different ways.

My W accused me of being narcicistic yesterday afternoon as well. Thought that was funny as well.

Thanks again Sandi2. I appreciate the input. I do think we are kind of moving from checkers to chess. No more dancing around, just strategy and time.
