It has been an emotional roller coaster with W moving out. Second guessing a lot of decisions like getting stuck with a unaffordable house in the D because I wanted to protect my castle which will make it a tough few years financially. Biggest concern is how the kids will react to their new lives and having less of me in their daily lives.
Dumbfounded by how W who did not show any initiative on any tasks during MR has done a 180 in taking strong initiative on all the steps to get away from me. She is financially set from the D settlement for a long time but life is still going to be harder than it was when we were together. In her mind she everything is worth being able to get away from me. What is hard for me to accept is that she sees me as a changed person but still wants to run away. She behaves normally with and does not show any anger or resentment. But she won't give a new R between us a chance even though she admits things are different now. DB, GAL and other efforts have all been overwhelmed by emotions at this point.
