so new paperwork keeps coming in heading closer and closer to divorce. The appraisal on the house which I would like to buy her out of and our pension appraisal. I stayed the course and just sent my checks in to cover my half the cost and made no fuss.

If anyone out there has any advice or words on how you if a divorce did happen kept your chin up through signing the papers. Or if it didn't happen but came close. As far as LTR and GAL it should be like "no big deal" and lets get this over with so I can officially move on.

[censored] but we had to speak to a therapist about our 8 yo son and his emotions. We have not told the kids but have just said Mommy and Daddy will make the best decision for everyone. Thats her line. The 8 yo is very smart and very empathetic. He does not like that they are with me only 3 day and with mommy 4 and I'm alone in the house and Mommy has grandma and pop pop. I want to be like WTF are you thinking with not wanting to work on [censored] and how this will affect them. But I keep my chin up and be the best I can for them and me.

Thats all. Any words would be great \

Thx NJ
