Thank you Neffer.

I honestly wouldn't know how I'd be coping right now had I not found this forum for encouragement and guidance from all of you.

The cat is out of the bag now. My inlaws, who are currently stay with us, know there's something up.

I've told them that we will tell them what's going on, ie the separation, tomorrow morning. I feel bad for them, they have been my equal parents for the past 14 years, since I was 17.

I wonder how the W will defend her A "friend" and trip. She is deep in the fog I'm afraid, and just getting started.
