Come on man..... Everytime you write on here you say. I can't, because..........and then end with my W. You can't do it and the reason is always your W. Go back and read every time some person on here gives you advice, your excuse for why you can't involves your W.
Your W is her own number one priority. And she is also your number one priority. She's going to grad school and she send the kids to be with a baby sitter while she's studying. When are you going to make yourself a higher priority than you make your W.
I know the prices in Bexar county. I rented a home in Bexar county last year for 7 years and sold that home last year. You can rent out that home next to your W for way more than what the mortgage is. You can also find an apartment until you get on your feet to buy another house.
IMO you have an unhealthy attachment problem to your kids and W. We all love our kids on this board, and there have been a lot that have the same attachment as you but they have found ways to move on and separate themselves from their unhealthy Sitch. Look at MTB. He's still caring for his children and he has moved on from his W. He has not stopped loving her, but he has stop taking her disrespectful sh$t.
Every Sitch is different, but for some reason you have more excuses than others.
Start thinking about what does a person only a fool would leave, will look like from who you are and who your W is. And I can tell it wont be the ExH husband living next door, paying his W child support. Become a Alpha again.
