When the empty boxes start coming in and the full boxes start leaving, it will get tough. Stay strong and stay focused.
He really isn't taking a lot of stuff, according to him, just some of his clothes and personal items. He's not taking furniture or any household stuff. I asked him to move it out when the kids weren't home, and he agreed. Hopefully no major moving boxes will appear.

That's true, Mozza. Yesterday, IC said something along the lines of do I wish that I could beg him not to go and he'd reconsider last-minute. And I said, no, he needs to go and I need him to go. Because right now I need the space as much as he does. And he can't come back if he never left.

Thanks, Jefe. I appreciate your always stopping by with an encouraging word.
Truth is I'm feeling great today. I am not looking forward to the weekend, but I'm not viewing it with the same dread that I was for the past few months. I'm in the mode where I think a man that cheats on his W and leaves his kids deserves the kind of woman who would want a man like that (and that would be the duck, not me). I know that's a phase, I've been there before, and it probably won't last. But it's a strong place to be for today.
wow, rppfl. You sound so strong. I love what you say about not begging him to reconsider, and knowing why that would be a good idea. And what you say about him deserving the duck. I hope you can hang onto this strong sense of purpose and self. I hope the transition brings you some peace and space for healing.

You are in my thoughts. The announcement was a difficult moment for me. Your kids are old enough to understand that this is a defining moment of their life. Come back and tell us how it went.
