Yes, 3 daughters, 10, 13, and 15. She's a stay at home mom and the primary caregiver which is why I moved out. We rented an apartment for 3 months starting January 1st 8 mins from the primary house and the plan was to take weekly turns living in it so the kids can stay in the house.
She's still lying to me even though we're separated. Asked me if I could take the kids to the beach house on New Year's Eve because she might want to get together with some high school friends. We haven't gone out on NYE in years as neither one of us has wanted to. My guess is she's going out with OM and wants the house so they have a place to sleep together which makes me sick that she would do it in the marital bed. But since I'm moving back Jan 1st when she moves to the apartment and I need to bring a bunch of stuff back, I don't have room for all 3 kids and my stuff.
Hurts that kids think it was a mutual separation but from everything I've read, it does them no good to tell them the truth. That said, my 15 year old came across our text chain and knows what's up. I'm sure she'll tell her sisters when they get older. My 12 year old asked me if I could come home for an hour Christmas morning just to do presents and breakfast but I told her it was just too painful to be around mom so soon after the separation.
