8, there's nothing anyone can say to make this time easier, I wish there were so that I could say it! I know for me one of the most difficult parts of even considering leaving is the efffect it will have on the kids. If you want to call it a bright spot, you have been spared having to inflict the wound so stay strong to help them heal it. I know the pain is the same, no matter which S inflicts it but I'd sooner be in your shoes than hers. If that makes any sense. Do you have a Minister you might spend some time sharing this with? It's time to start rounding up the supports. No matter how strong you are, a shoulder to cry on, someone to share with is a MUST. Take care of yourself and your kids. I'll be thinking of you.
