Hay! I wonder if you can tell me how you are working the seperation. My wife is looking for a place right now. She wants to go to mediation but we have not really talked about anything. I have two children, S4 and S6. I don't want her to leave with the kids for fear that I will not see them. It sounds like you are handling things so well. I feel like I am lost most of the time. My anxiety is high but I try to keep up me PMA. I did do a 180 and told her that I wasn't going to leave the house. She was very upset and said she was going to file. I don't believe that has happenend. Other issues around other men too. I too want this to work but I am getting tired of all the crap. I am trying to keep my attorney at bay. I want to protect myself and the kids too. Like your post. Helps to read what others are doing and how consistent you are.
