FallingToFly said:I'm okay Red, just annoyed more than anything... I have two more years to live as amicable enemies with this person, and he finally realized that I'm not just wavering in the doorway, my bags are packed, the tickets are bought, and I'm already gone. The only reason I'm staying is so my kids have a stable base until they're in school, because I'm going to have to let him have primary custody on a temporary basis until I can finish out my schooling and be able to provide financially for them and have a big enough place for them to come back to me- until then, it'll be school holidays and summer break.
On the bright side, they'll be older, and a little more capable of understanding the whys and wherefores. Thank gods they're intelligent and rational kids- this is still going to rip holes in their universe.
I don't know if this will help, but whenever I counsel people involed in a divore or break up I recommend a book called Coming Apart by Daphne Rose Kingma...It helped me years ago with a big break up...And those who have read it when I've recommended it over the last 5 years (including at least 2 litsers) and recently my nephew, they have told me that it had a lot of answers...Dapne is awsome and she has a lot of books since then which I haven't read, but which further build upon her work...
I know for a fact Coming Apart is available at amazon and most bookstores...
