Update

Reached verbal agreement on a settlement and just waiting on final agreement from the mediator to review, sign and submit to the court. Hopefully all done by 12/15.

W wanted to talk about "other people in her life" via text so she could tell the kids, but I pushed to speak in person so nothing could be misinterpreted. We met for about 10 minutes and (this will shock you all!) she has told me that she has moved back to her hometown and she is living with her "boyfriend," his sister and their father. I didn't flinch and said, "Well, good luck to you. Let me know what you tell the kids so I can answer any questions they might have." She got choked up, and then I got up to leave. And that was that.
