Just catching up. I'm sorry for your worries and for feeling poorly. Physical health is such an important contributor to our emotional health, isn't it? Everything is compounded when we don't feel well. I don't recall if you have ever contacted an attorney? If an official separation (which isn't really recognized in my state) is forthcoming for me, I've already contacted a mediator, but haven't met them yet. An attorney too, in case I need it. My feeling is that being proactive is always better than reactive. I've run all the numbers, figured out expenses, considered how to split retirement funds, etc. Of course I hope it doesn't come to that, but action in just getting preliminary stuff done "just in case" made me feel more in control. Perhaps that would for you too.
Hang in there, and give your kiddos lots of hugs. Here's one from me! *HUGS*
