ACD: This is a tough time for you. I remember going through this kind of thing with XW. Feeling like a displaced person?
I hope that 2006 gets better really soon for you. I hope you have a buddy or two you can hang out with during the next few weeks. Staying by yourself is not what you want to be doing right now.
You said that two of your kids understand and support your decision. How many kids do you have? Just remember that, while it's nice to have their support, it's not required. You did the hard work to figure out what was best for you and for them. Having a father who felt like a prisoner in a bad marriage was not as good for them as the alternative...although it's going to get a bit tougher before it gets better.
Have you filed yet? Seen an attorney? Read any books about parenting kids during and after a divorce? If you want, feel free to e-mail me at slinky22 at gmail dot com.
