Taking it day by day....
Not sure what to think right now. She has been pretty quiet in any discussion on the transistion of separating. Usually once in a while over the last couple weeks she would contribute some sort of idea or input on something over at the house I am moving to. Over the last few days she has been very quiet about it. We talked about this right after the first of the year that we were going to tell them on Saturday the 17th. Not sure what to think right now! I am continuing to struggle with what is the best thing to do and when is the best time to do this. I guess she is struggling knowing that the 17th is just about 5 days away and we need to tell the kids. I know she wants to protect them from this pain and this change, and I can feel the wanting to protect them too. Just so sad!!! Stomach is acting up from all this anxiety and worry. Last week she helped me pick some things to take over to the house but over the last 5 days or so she has not said much. Just feeling in a weak place right now and feel so depressed.

Like we\'ve talked about...this is going to be a rough week. Your devotion to your kids is going to help you get through. This wasn\'t some knee jerk emotional reaction. You\'ve planned, thought about it, and have a good feeling for what may happen. This is one article that helped me when we told the kids. Might give you some reassurance or ideas.
