W will want an answer from me re: parenting plan soon, and I talked about that with L yesterday. The ‘doing some research’ line is something that L suggested.

How would this sound as a response? Please add suggestions or affirmations as necessary.

“I’ve been doing some research, and what I’ve found is that if you want to separate, then you are welcome to find your own place and begin that arrangement for yourself, and you are welcome to assist me in parenting duties while you are here. I feel that it is my best interest (and that of the kids’) for me to continue to be here.”
