Had a great GAL day today, worked on some fun projects at the house with the kids, hit the gym for a massive workout, then met a few friends at the shooting range with a few beers after. Neither friend knows about the coming D. Great to hang out with the fellas and talk smart, good for the head and the soul.
No R talk with W, but the issue of telling the kids will likely be coming up again very soon. I’m considering setting up a consult with a child psychologist to discuss how to tell the kids, let W know about this and say she can join if she wants. It’s only the most crushing conversation we will have with the kids, should be really well thought out. Any thoughts on this approach?
Also, is there a consensus opinion on whether I should take lead on all the action items to come, like selecting a mediator, finding a RE appraiser to give a home value, proposal for splitting of assets, proposed custody schedule, etc? As an Alpha I am prepared to take control, but if I should lay back and tell W it’s all on her to do everything and I will evaluate the info she provides I can play it that way. I am certainly not planning on initiating forward momentum on any of these issues, but I just want to have an idea of the right strategy when W presses to move forward.
